A
TRAINING.
48. Efficient working requires primarily a sound body of operational officers and men, who are at all times keen, reliable and well versed in the handling of up-to-date fire appliances and equipment, also in the applica- tion of modern fire-fighting methods. Changing aspects of industrial production, the temporary embargo on export goods, and the storage of goods, always present problems to the Brigade.
49. General training of Brigade personnel has continued throughout the year. This is a very important part of Fire Brigade organization, as it is only by constant drills, plus experience at fires, that a fireman can hope to achieve efficiency.
