Rappel crew training - Forest Fire Management Victoria

Part of our world class firefighter capability in Victoria includes the highly specialised rappel teams at (tag) Forest Fire Management Victoria.
Dispatched to some of the most inaccessible locations across the state, most of the work FFMVic rappel crews undertake is away from public view.
Rappel crews are responsible for aggressive initial attack on fires, generally caused by lightning, in an effort to keep fires small to reduce the risk posed to firefighters, communities, and the environment.
The Vic Emergency media production team recently dropped in to see the Ovens and Heyfield crews preparing for the season ahead.
