No FESA units down that way. Most likely it was a
Fire and Rescue (FRS) brigade.
I am lost. Since when has FRS not been part of FESA??
Fire and Rescue comes under the umbrella if FESA , however is in itself a seperate identity. Under the FESA umbrella is
- bush fire brigades managed by local governments
- career Fire and Rescue Service stations
- volunteer Fire and Rescue Service brigades
- State Emergency Service units
- Volunteer Marine Rescue Service groups
- Volunteer Emergency Service units - use to be called a FESA unit which consisted of a dual registered brigade involving frs,bfb and ses. mainly in country towns where the population was not great enough for the 3 services so members would be involved in all 3 under the one brigades registration - Currently only 15 registered throughout the state eg Halls creek and fitzroy crossing.
They all have there own budget and management
