The CFA have to train somewhere, and lucky for us the Victorian Emergency Management Training Centre (VEMTC) is situated just down the road from our Scout Hall in Ballan. So, keen to check it out two Scouts walked in, introduced themselves and requested a tour on behalf of our Cubs & Scouts. After a few conversations, permission was granted and our youth were not disappointed with their tour.
The tour started in a classroom with a bit of history, a video and a safety brief before a full tour of all the facilities. It was interesting to see what facilities and resources are available to help train our Victorian CFA volunteers.
Eventually our youth arrived on the training pad where they witnessed cars, gas tanks, petrol bowsers, a tanker, a building and the ground all go up in flames .... and they loved it. It truly is an amazing training facility and lucky for the youth the Ballan CFA happen to be onsite to help extinguish the flames.
Thank you Ballan CFA
