Firefighting & Rescue Competitions
Kalamunda Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service In the early days, Kalamunda participated along with many other brigades in the Volunteer Fire Brigade competitions as part of the Central Zone. Kalamunda has also participated in the international arena with distinction at World firefighter Games with Geoff Johnston a winning weightlifting Gold at Auckland and John Dobson Silver in swimming at Hong Kong.
