Rural Fire Brigades welcome new equipment

Several Brisbane Rural Fire Brigades will on Wednesday share in $21,000 worth of new equipment as a result of an ongoing partnership with the Queensland Rural Fire Service (QFRS) and Energex. 

A total of 11 brigades will receive essential items such as transportable marquees, portable fridges, generators and lighting tower kits, eskies and portable pumps. 

The brigades receiving equipment are Narangba, Elimbah, Villeneuve Neurum, Delaneys Creek, Samford, Mount Nebo, Hazeldean, Ocean View, Stoney Creek, Samsonvale and Macleay Island. 

The handover is part of a $75,000 pledge by Energex to benefit 38 Rural Fire Service (RFS) brigades throughout Brisbane and the South East.
