As an Athelstone
firefighter you may be required to combat fire within a structure.
This poses an array of different hazards compared to that of a
wildfire.
Members of Athelstone
CFS undertake courses in both 'Breathing Apparatus' and 'Compartment
Firefighting' so that we can effectively and safely combat a structure
fire should the need arise.
This training
combined with a high standard of personal protective clothing
allows our members the possibility of either an external or internal
attack plus the added strategy of offensive or defensive firefighting.
