Thanks to Leeton Shire Council Out of School Vacation Care for inviting us down along with our friends from Fire and Rescue NSW Station 360 Leeton on Friday to show the kids through the trucks and hand out some handy road safety tips.... The kids all had a go on the e-draulic gear, Fire hoses and of course the lights & sirens to wrap up the end of school holidays!
(Thanks also goes to our volunteers who regularly give up their own time, either in their lunch breaks from paid work or days off to put some smiles on kids faces with these visits!)
A big thanks also to our friends at Beyond Bank Leeton for taking on our colouring in comp from the day, with winners to be judged by their staff this week! Make sure you pop on in and check out the kids handy work!!

It was a bit of a different job over the past 2 nights with our crew out and about supporting the Leeton Golf Club with the annual Sunrice Pro Am.
We were tasked with providing lighting at the practice green as the amateur's had a whack at the pin on Friday night and the Pro's lined up tonight to chip over the clubhouse for a $500 nearest to pin!
Well done to Club Pro Jason Mimmo and his band of dedicated helpers at the Golfy! How good to see it busting at the seems with patrons, all enjoying the great facility they now have! Good luck to those having a hit to wrap up proceedings tomorrow!
Also thanks to our friends at the Coleambally Rescue Squad - VRA Rescue NSW for a loan of their lighting tower to make it daylight on the Green 💚
