Yesterday they arrived back from SA, from their trek through Nairne and Broken Hill.
RFS membership service officer, Bill Britt said the team has come back from a fantastic experience.
"They spent most of their time consolidating the South Eastern edge of the fire," he said.
"They enjoyed it; there was a fair bit of work and they travelled around a lot, but the morale was good and they learnt a lot."
