Mooroopna CFA Receive Truck Training For Fire SeasonPosted by TIDE Training Pty Ltd on January 17th, 2019 Mooroopna CFA will be better equipped for the fire season with the support of two new truck licences. The donation is by TIDE Training, which was inspired to help the local community after learning about the dangerous fire season ahead due to drier-than-normal conditions across the region. CFA operations officer Travis Harris was thankful for the generous support offered as the local brigades prepare for a predictably long fire season. ‘‘By indirectly providing their services they’re assisting the community, helping their local fire brigade build capacity,’’ Mr Harris said. Mr Harris said the CFA was often short on drivers and this was an important skill needed. ‘‘It’s helping to improve their skills and knowledge and will help in many situations,’’ he said. TIDE Training director Tom Russell said the Melbourne-based company moved to Mooroopna in 2011 and wanted to give back to the community that had embraced it. Mr Russell and his team provided Heavy Rigid and Heavy Combination truck training, helping local volunteers Dean O’Hara and Rodger Doherty get the new licences and acquire new skills.
