On Tuesday night we received our new Milwaukee battery operated chainsaws and pole saw.

These vital pieces of equipment will be used on the fireground, during storm clean up and for training our volunteers.

Thank you to Tim from Milwaukee Tool and Sam from TradeTools for their assistance on working out the best equipment for our brigade.

Thank you to those who waved as we were making our way through the streets. Your love and appreciation given to all our emergency services was felt by all.

See you again next year!
