Hi Dan I live in a small town of aprox 3500 people plus and surrounding districs of course much like your self by the sounds of it. We get around 50 to 60 calls a year including all the usual false alarms,small incerdents etc. Yes it's been a bit quite for us at the momment to ( touch wood ) which is fine by me. It's winter here so our rural or wild fire risk is about nil altough we still very active with FEM and weekly training community project's etc. We have about 50 members but some of of our guy's prefer to do just the summer thing rather than all year round so at the momment we have around 2 dozen turning up to skills maintance training ho and there's always a couple of new recruits in the pipe line.
Cheers .

Hi Daniel sorry only close Victoria is the state were I live not the town. Iwas a bit unsure of this site so desided to take it slowly maybe my kids would be more cumfortable at this level.
