The Diggers Rest Country Fire Authority (CFA) is hosting a trivia night to raise funds towards a new forward command vehicle.
The event is at the Diggers Rest Bowls Club on March 15 and includes raffles and prizes with drinks available from the bar.
The command vehicle runs mobile operations for the team as a control centre and communications hub, a key aspect of effective firefighting.
Local businesses have donated to help support the upgrade amongst other fundraising efforts over the last year.
Fundraiser co-ordinator Brooke Downie said that “the existing one we have had for years. It is important that we can upgrade to keep our services up to date and protect the community.”
Annually the fire brigade puts on a Halloween walking bus where firefighter volunteers take children on a trick or treating tour to the houses that register.
The successful evening brings the community together and is a good opportunity for the kids and the team said Brooke.
A sausage sizzle is also in the works for future fundraising initiatives.
To stay up to date, register your team of eight, or find out more on the Facebook event page.
