Rural Fire Service
Step up
Given how prone much of our landscape is to fire, the more volunteers the Rural Fire Service (RFS) can tap in to, the better. If you want to help contribute to fire prevention and fighting, why not get along to the Hazelgrove RFS for their annual general meeting and find out a bit more abut the brigade? Saturday, June 5, 3pm. Hazelgrove fire shed.
