Balclutha Operational Support

The main task for the Balclutha Operational Support Unit is traffic control and crowd control at MVA's and at fire grounds. Sometimes when the brigade is short on man power, the unit will help out at large fires by looking after the ECO board (BA Wearers). 
Operational Support members respond to call outs either in their dedicated ute (Balclutha 4626) or on the trucks. 
The Operational Support Unit responds to about 180-200 call outs per year, and cover an area about 20km south and 20km north of Balclutha on State Highway 1.
