🚒 Opito Bay Fire Crew – Community Request 💧
Hi everyone,
The Opito Bay Fire Crew are currently on the lookout for a water tank for our new fire base facility being built at the Vela farm.
We are ideally seeking something around 10,000 litres or larger, which will be used for:
Equipment testing
Pump and hose maintenance
Flushing and cleaning gear after incidents
If you have a tank that’s surplus to requirements, or know someone who might be able to help, we would really appreciate hearing from you.
Please feel free to message us directly or comment below.
Thanks again for the incredible support from our community — it truly makes a difference
Bob 0275 866639 🙏🚒

The days are getting shorter which means it’s time to think ahead and prepare for colder weather. ❄️

Unseen debris in your chimney is a fire waiting to happen. Make sure you have your chimney cleaned before the first fire of the season! 🔥
