Back by popular demand, the second annual Whitsunday Emergency Services Field Day has been announced for July this year and organisers are excited to welcome the community to another action-packed day hosted by our local heroes.
Children of all ages will be excited to get up close to the flashing lights of the fire engines and take a tour inside an ambulance, meet a police dog, and explore a rescue boat while the adults can chat with volunteer organisations such as the State Emergency Service (SES) and Whitsunday Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) to see how they can get involved.
There will be a number of Emergency Services on display including Queensland Police Service (QPS) and members of the Water Police and Road Policing Units, rural fire department, Queensland Fire Emergency Service, Queensland Ambulance Service, Volunteer Marine Rescue, SES and Whitsunday Council Disaster Management.
The large green oval at Coral Sea Marina will be the venue for the day with activities kicking-off at 8am and wrapping-up by 12pm.
Coffee vans will keep attendees hydrated and a sausage sizzle will ensure everyone is fed.
While much of the itinerary is still in the planning stages, Constable Jessica Leech said we can expect some exciting activities which could include water displays and real-life action scenarios.
With a cross section of emergency services personnel present and available to talk with, residents will be able to ask any questions they have and become familiar with different sectors.
“This will be a great opportunity for the community to understand what we do and for us to build better working relationships with everyone,” said Constable Leech.
The event takes place at the Coral Sea Marina Oval on Saturday 30th July.
