Our Volunteer Fire Department, including Scott, trains twice a month to respond to various types of fires. Recently, the department was blessed to replace our aging truck with a newer retired one from Australia. The new vehicle is larger, better equipped and steers more easily on our small dirt and gravel roads. Though structure fires are rare here, a family lost their home to a fire just a couple of years ago. It is also winter in PNG, which is the dry season, so grass fires become more common and can get out of control. We are thankful for the volunteer fire fighting team here in Ukarumpa who keep us safe!
