The Heronvale Rural Fire Brigade has welcomed a new piece of equipment into their fleet.
The new ATV and attached trailer will aid the volunteer fire fighting contingent to better fight and manage hard to reach locations, that the regular fire truck would be unable to service.
An official Open Day was held in honour of the new additions and Councillor Michelle Wright spoke to the community about Whitsunday Regional Council’s valued contribution.
“I am proud that Council recognised the need to support the Heronvale Rural Fire Brigade and allocated $20,000 through our special projects funding towards the new ATV,” she said.
“The Heronvale Rural Fire Brigade has been a pillar of strength in our community, tirelessly dedicating their time, courage, and expertise to protect and keep our residents safe.”
On the day, the ATV was officially named, by children from the community.
“A great morning had by all,” said Gavin Maxwell, 1st Officer of the Heronvale RFB.
“Congratulations to the Brigade and welcome Heronvale 35 aka ‘Rainbow Duck Fire Truck’ to the growing fleet of ATVs in the region.”
