A NEW FIRE TRUCK FOR FRESHWATER CREEK FIRE BRIGADE

 

Thanks to Brian and Telsa for organising a fun BBQ and bonfire last Sunday and giving us the opportunity to see the new fire truck. We have been supporting Freshwater Creek fireman for quite some time. It was interesting to see how they handle the equipment when there is a fire.

The new truck has all state-of-the-art equipment, and I learnt something about the different hoses they have on the truck to fight different fires. For a grass fire the hose they use has tiny holes all over it, so it doesn’t catch on fire.

 

I suppose that is common knowledge, but I thought it was very clever.
 

The BBQ trailer worked well, with Hamburgers & Sausages for all that wanted them.
I think the CFA guys enjoyed a hamburger or two.

It was interesting listening to the CFA guys and how passionate they are about caring for our community and working to protect the lives and properties of millions of Victorians.

 

There is 54,000 members working in over 1,200 brigades across Victoria, ranging from small rural towns to outer metropolitan suburbs.

 

It’s good that we can support them through Rotary
