There will be a barbecue as well as a drone demonstration.
Several local units are in dire need of on-call firefighters which resulted in the recent mailbox drop explaining what this paid position with leave entitlements involves.
The need has even inspired some of Finley Station 293 personnel to put together an amusing promotional video which can be found on Facebook.
Zone Commander Frank Finlay will attend tomorrow evening so if you are ready to look after locals in a variety of situations, feel free to attend the station and see if this is right for you. Male and female firefighters are wanted.
