From our very humble green bush and wet bag beginning in 1939 our Brigade has been in continuous operation ever since and has grown and expanded through the efforts of many volunteers. Many of today's volunteers are trained Breathing Apparatus Operators "B.A." to be able to fight fires under very smoky and toxic conditions, some too are qualified in first aid. Today after two previous name changes, we are known as the Happy Valley Country Fire Service, with three modern fire appliances capable of handling grass and bushfires as well as vehicle and building fires. |
