CFA News
GREAT NEWS!!!
The Underbool CFA have been successful in their latest attempt at getting an ULTRA LIGHT Ute for the CFA under the VESEP Grant. This is the third year that the Underbool CFA has applied, and we are very excited that the application has been successful! A huge thank you to our BASO Noela Barker for her persistence in continuing to submit our paperwork and we look forward to this valuable community asset!! As these vehicles undergo a purpose built fit out it will be some time before it is parked in the shed, its arrival date could be well into the future but it's all systems go so as volunteers we are definitely moving in the right direction.
Thank you Captain Cameron Gloster
