A sizzling hot fire brigade

A beautiful, sunny day allowed for a record number of attendees to join the Villeneuve Rural Fire Brigade’s (RFB) open day on Saturday, August 17.

Kids got a chance to sit in trucks and turn sirens on.

Residents from Woodford, Kilcoy, Mount Archer, Villeneuve, Neurum, and surrounding areas enjoyed a sausage sizzle while learning about fire safety and preparing for the upcoming bushfire season.

The brigade was joined by the local Ambulance Station, which had many fire trucks and an ambulance on display for kids to explore, learn, and enjoy.

Among the attendees were Somerset councillors Kylee Isidro, Sally Jess, and Michael Bishop, along with Federal Member for Blair Shayne Neumann, firefighters from the Mount Kilcoy Sandy Creek RFB and Stoney Creek RFB, and cadet volunteers from the Woodford Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC).

Thank you to all brigades and ambulance services for your hard work!
