A total of 180 call-outs in 12 months and a team of local volunteers who quietly keep us safe. Now it is our turn to step up for Jamberoo Rural Fire Service.
They do not ask for much. In fact, the Jamberoo Rural Fire Service volunteers spend most of their time asking for nothing at all.
They simply show up, again and again, whenever the pager sounds.
Last year, they answered 180 call outs across our region. Fires, floods, car crashes, rescues, you name it, they were there.
Rain or shine, day or night, these local legends are first on the scene, bringing calm, skill and courage when it matters most.
The vital funds raised help the brigade purchase specific equipment that directly contributes to the incidents they respond to.
Recent investments include:
🔥 A thermal imaging camera that allows firefighters to see through smoke, assist with search and rescue, and quickly gain control over a fire environment.
🔥 A piercing nozzle specifically designed for tackling pile burns, hay fires, car fires and rubbish fires by injecting water into the centre of the fire.
These tools can be the difference between saving a life or losing a property.
Every dollar raised genuinely helps our RFS volunteers do their job better and safer.
This Friday 24 May, you can help — and have a fantastic night while you are at it.
The FUKERS Fundraising Concert at Jamberoo School of Arts Hall promises live music, singing, dancing, food, drinks, and a chance to throw your support behind the people who are always there for us.
Paul Taylor and the FUKERS are donating their time and talent, and every ticket sold will help Jamberoo RFS stay equipped and ready for whatever challenges come next.
If you are thinking of coming, please jump online and book now.
Bring your friends, your neighbours, your family, and show our RFS they are not standing alone.”
