The CFA Werribee road crash rescue team has confirmed its reputation as one of the top units in the country by winning the recent NSW championships for the second year in a row.
The seven man team from the CFA’s Werribee and Wyndham Vale brigades, triumphed over competitors at the NSW road crash rescue competitions in Coffs Harbour from May 5 to 7.
The team claimed overall honours after competing in the controlled, entrapped and CPR categories, as well as fire-fighter and industrial rescues.
Each rescue scenario is a simulated version of a real-life accident.
CFA Werribee were the only interstate team invited to the competitions and defeated teams from NSW fire rescue, NSW SES and NSW volunteer rescue association.
Team member Scott Green said it was an honour to win such a high quality competition.
“We’re extremely proud to be able to represent the CFA on that stage and demonstrate our rescue capability as a fire service to other emergency services at home and interstate”
He attributed their success to hard work and dedication.
“Every member of the team has a passion for road accident rescue road safety and that passion drives our training.”
The CFA Werribee team are hoping to compete for the Australian title in Adelaide in July.
