  • SUE: My name is Sue Mountain. I’m a member of the Yarrambat Fire Brigade. I’m a volunteer

  • fire fighter and currently the first Lieutenant of the Fire Brigade.

  • Yarrambat is north-east of Melbourne, um if anyone knows where Greensborough is it’s

  • about 10 minutes on from Greensborough. We are an entirely volunteer brigade. Um, so

  • all the fire fighters are volunteers, and the auxiliary as well. No one gets paid to

  • do anything, they just give of their time. Theyre a junior brigade, we have kids from

  • the ages of 11 to 15. We really have a junior brigade to just get the kids involved in the

  • community, for them to understand what volunteerism is, and most importantly to have fun. We have

  • a very high success rate of our kids going on from 16 and becoming fire fighters, so

  • it’s wonderful that kids who have mostly been here for five years with us, actually

  • choose to become a volunteer and uh, go on to be fire fighters.

  • MADELINE: I’m Madeline. SARAH: I’m Sarah.

  • MADELINE AND SARAH: And were junior CFA fire fighters.

  • SARAH: I’ve been here for about six months. MADELINE: I’ve been here for just over two

  • years. You get to go down to the fire brigade and we get to do sleep overs, trivia nights,

  • uh we learn about the communications. SARAH: And the radio.

  • MADELINE: Yeah the radios and what buttons to not click in the truck [laughs].

  • JESSIE: Hi I’m Jessie. KYLE: I’m Kyle.

  • JESSIE: And were junior volunteers for the CFA.

  • KYLE: It’s just a good way to get out of home, like get out of the house, get something

  • to do, get active. (JESSIE: Yeah)

  • MADELINE: Uh, this was wet hose and ladder. SARAH: And basically we had two hoses, and

  • they join in the middle and we had four people that run down, two people uncouple the hose

  • connectors and run down with a branch which connect to the hose and the other two people

  • run back to the tank and they turn it on, they connect it and turn on water runs through

  • and hits the target. KYLE: It’s pretty powerful, like, you have

  • to have your back foot back or else youll just fall back, probably like, fly around

  • with it. (JESSIE: Yeah) SARAH: It’s funny when people don’t connect

  • it properly and the water just goes everywhere (MADELINE: Yeah, and you get all wet) [Laughter]

  • SUE: Our regret is that we didn’t come here ten years before. That, that’s the one regret.

  • MADELINE: I like to do my bit for the community and um my mum and dad think it’s good and

  • I love doing it. SARAH: My parents always told me, sometime

  • in your life youve gotta do something good that can help other people as well as yourself,

  • and like, joining this, in the future if I go onto Seniors I will basically be helping

  • lives and I’ll be doing something that I can hold with my life that I’m doing good

  • for someone else. JESSIE: Just being able to help the community

  • and being a part of something else to be proud of.

  • SUE: We feel it’s really important to do things like this in our lives. We often say,

  • what would we be doing if we didn’t have this? You know, and we’d be sitting at home

  • and yeah we’d be mowing our lawns and probably have a better garden than we have now but

  • um we wouldn’t swap it for anything because we really enjoy doing it, you know, it keeps

  • me out of trouble [laughs].
