Training Saturdays at #EFRU: Following the intense #training for the basic rescue course, this weekend was time to focus on admin and maintenance works at the HQ; but this didn't stop the K9 #team from continuing with their Sunday morning scheduled training. Although this novice team is still working towards the standards given to them by #EVOLSAR members @serveonirt during this year's visit to assess the units K9's, their progress is very evident - thanks to the #dedication of their handlers. K9 Scout, K9 Bobby and K9 Sam are as #determined to save lives as much as their handlers and are proving to be a success throughout their training program. A HUGE well done to all the EFRU's K9's, their handlers, decoys and instructors. Keep up the excellent work!

#Training Saturdays at EFRU: Basic rescue skills focused on #stretcher handling and lashing mainly aimed at the new #recruits. The session also served as a good revision for the more advanced #rescuers who were not #committed with other duties on the day.

#EFRU #volunteers have been relentlessly working on #vehicle maintenance and renovation. Today, EFRU proudly boasts of two operational ex- London Fire Brigade trucks, and its latest addition: a specialised #Logistics & #Support vehicle, a project co-funded by the #Good #Causes #Fund.

New livery was generously sponsored by @Sign It. #EFRU #team spent countless hours cleaning, polishing and installing new livery that now brands the fleet meticulously. The vehicles were also equipped with communications equipment from Medcomms Limited and emergency systems from Hundar Emergency Solutions Malta.

The unit's main workhorses are now ready for action! Ready to support #local #community.

Special thanks also goes to Elmo Insurance Ltd that sponsors vehicle insurances. Thank you for believing in our cause! It is thanks to the corporate social responsibility of companies such as Elmo, Sign It, Milwaukee Tool, Protrade Malta, @Wurth Malta and OK Medical that the EFRU manages to reach its goals.

Last but not least a huge sign of appreciation goes to our dedicated members who meticulously worked on these vehicles - job well done!

A team of #EFRU #volunteer #firefighters deployed this afternoon to the Attrans fire incident in a timely manner in support of #CivilProtection. On site, the Unit used its resources to minimise the spread of the fire in one area of the incident. It is with pleasure that the Unit's firefighters worked with volunteer members of SJRC alongside them, as one operational team. To more collaborative efforts between the Units!
Hail to all firefighters who made it to site in such a short time and thanks also to the two other teams of volunteer firefighters who were on standby in preparedness for deployment if the needs arose. This is what we train for! #EFRU #volunteers #firefighting #OneTeam #rescue #malta ... See more

As with everything else affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, our organisation has had to adapt to this unprecedented reality. Whilst on-site training has had to be suspended, a lot of other work is still going on. At EFRU, some volunteers have taken charge of the maintenance and the upkeep of our premises, whilst ensuring adherence to social distancing and other safety measures. On the other hand, with most of our members resolved to staying indoors, loads of work is still ongoing in our homes. Key amongst this work is the VOPS-funded project, which includes the creation of the EFRU library and ITLS training to our instructors. Every Saturday is now being devoted to online training sessions and telework through the EFRU’s online training platform. Naturally, throughout this time, the EFRU has continued to offer its assistance to the CPD in safeguarding the safety of the Maltese community.
