Can you teach an old dog new tricks?

Not sure, but you can bolt a wifi modem on it.

Our 26 year old girl got a new piece of kit last week!

We now have starlink 💫

What does that mean for us?

We're staying connected on incidents so our communications are more reliable in black spots.

What does that mean for you?

Well if our truck is turned on you can enjoy free wifi by connecting to the RFS Public connection.

Harnessing the power of the sun! ☀️

Clean Energy For Eternity (CEFE) delivered with help from Lakeside Electrical a 4.4kW solar & 8kWh battery system!

This will help us keep our lights on 24/7 rain, hail or shine and power the station with clean energy.

We'd like to pass on a huge thank you to all the donators that contributed to this project.
