G'day Middle Arm community,
Earlier this year the brigade started undertaking renovations to our Middle Arm Station training and meeting room. As part of the updates the brigade applied for a Veolia Mulwaree Trust grant.
In late April we were advised that we'd been successful and on the 30th April Captain Mat, president Harold and firefighter Callum attended the Grace Millsom Centre to be presented wth a cheque for $8105 to fit two air conditioners to the meeting room and office. This will help us with firefighter comfort on those hot days where we are on standby standing up at station ready to respond to incidents in our area.
As were also a Neighbourhood Safer Place, were are recognised as a place of last resort for the community and these air conditioners also provide comfort on what would be an uncomfortable day. It also assists us on cold days and nights for meetings and training.
The brigade would like to thank Deputy Captain Bob, Garry, Deputy Captain Bill, Ivan and others for all their work in securing the grant and also the renovations. We'd also like to thank Veolia Mulwaree Trust for consideration and also assessing the grant. Thankyou again.
