Welcome
The Green Head Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade welcomes you to our Brigade Web Site. The aim of this site is to communicate our activities to the Community we serve and to our members. The site is simple and without the bells and whistles of those professional web sites, but if it serves a purpose we can build on it for the better. This site has been checked for browser compatibility and it checks out in both Fire Fox and Internet Explorer. There are still some issues with IE so the site has been optimised for Fire Fox which is the preferred browser for this site. You are welcome to browse around, and see what it is we are doing at the Green Head Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade - Enjoy.
"Incident Management Kit" Project Funding Appeal
The Brigade is seeking public support by way of donation so it can assemble two Incident Management Kits. The kits will provide the necessities such as UHF Radios, Hand Held Weather Station, Binoculars, Contact Directories, First Aid Reference, Battle Boards, Incident Diary Pads, Spare Batteries, Stationary etc. The estimated cost for each of these bags approximately $1000.00 inclusive of contents. Donations can be made utilising the link below. We only need the generosity of 200 people at $10.00 and our project is complete. We would greatly appreciate any assistance offered.
