NRS-22785 | Occurrence books [Eastwood Fire Station]

This series comprises hand written volumes which detail the routine running of the Eastwood Fire Station recording fires and fire attendance, training exercises (drills), equipment inspections, turnouts, and station parades, along with special events such as the retirement of long serving fire fighters. From July 1993, when Fire Records Books ceased to be maintained, Occurrence Books became the main record of daily activity at country fire stations. The time of each event or the notification time for each incident is logged with description of the occurrence and the names of personnel responding also listed. Special items, Hours, Minutes and Occurrences are all listed as columns. An electronic occurrence books rollout commenced from July 2012 for Metropolitan stations and was completed in October 2012. The regional stations rollout commenced in February 2013 and concluded in September 2013. Physical occurrence books are no longer generated. (1) Endnote 1.
