I refer to the provision of training in firefighting in the Kimberley to ranger groups and volunteer firefighters, and I ask: (a) what training has been delivered in the Kimberley in the past 3 years; and; (b) for each instance in (a), can the Minister please outline: (i) the date the training occurred; (ii) the organisations that received the training; and (iii) where the training took place; and (c) is the Minister aware of instances of ranger groups being utilised to manage and combat fires without training in the Kimberley, and if so: (i) whose responsibility is it to provide these groups with training to manage and combat fires; and (ii) whose responsibility is it to provide these groups with equipment to manage and combat fires?
