The DFES Academy in Forrestfield is undertaking an exciting project to modernise and expand its specialist training video library, covering critical operational areas including Road Crash Rescue, Breathing Apparatus and Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) response.
As an intern, you will work closely with experienced firefighter subject matter experts to plan, film and produce training videos that support firefighter learning across Western Australia. You will help capture key operational procedures, techniques and best-practice methods, gaining valuable insight into emergency services training and operations.
Your work will involve updating existing videos to reflect new equipment and procedures, as well as creating new training resources where none currently exist.
