Come and see us at one of these local events
Dayboro Day Festival on Sunday 31st May
Keep an eye out for us in the street parade but make sure you drop by our stall and pick up a few raffle tickets.  We always have some great prizes on offer and would love to say hello.
RFSQ Awareness Day on Sunday 7th June
You will find us, and hopefully a few fire appliances, at the Dayboro Markets.  We would love to see you all there so drop in and say hello, grab a brochure, arrange a visit by your local Fire Warden or get a photo of the kids with one of the trucks.
the Wardens’ Word
***ALL FIRES-ongoing request***
The wardens for the areas below are requesting a courtesy call before lighting ANY fire please.  Even fires below the 2x2m permit requirements.  This is ‘not’ mandatory just a safety precaution.  Thanks for your co-operation!
Remember…. YOUR FIRE, YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
…DIDYANO?…
Ashes left in the wake of a fire are rich in nutrients, helping seedlings off to a head start.
