Brigade members input is encouraged .We would like to make this a web page for all Brigades in the Alexandra Group, so don't hesitate to contact one of the Group Officers, or Comms. Officers if you would like to contribute.
The Alexandra Group consists of twelve brigades, Acheron, Alexandra Urban, Alexandra Rural, Buxton, Eildon, Koriella, Marysville, Narbethong, Taggerty,Thornton, Whanregarwen and Yarck.
The primary activities of the Alexandra Group are provide command and control of emergency situations such as fires, chemical spills, and motor vehicle accidents.
