The OMR 'Christmas in July' event was a great success last night.
Many thanks are owed to all the people who attended and contributed to the tantalising array of salads and desserts.
The Orange Molong Road RFS Brigade is all about Community.
Neighbours helping neighbours and everyone looking out for each other with a sense of respect and Aussie camaraderie.
The Annual General Meeting is just over 4 weeks away, at 7 pm on Tuesday 19th August.
Put the date in your diary now - everyone is welcome to attend.
It's also very easy to join on-line, to be a part of something special 😀

The NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) is the world’s largest volunteer fire service, made up of more than 70,000 dedicated volunteers right across NSW.
