Emergency services will be on show at the next Brunswick Heads Markets in Banner Park on Saturday April 6 from 9am until 2pm.
Byron Shire Council said in a media release last week, ‘Emergency Services Community Connect will offer the community a chance to come and meet local emergency response members and showcase some of the equipment used in an emergency’.
Sarah Boulle, Byron Shire Council Recovery Coordinator, said that the event will provide the community with a chance to come together with a focus on emergency preparedness and resilience.
‘Come and get to know your local emergency services and ask any questions you have about how they operate’.
Jet skis, fire trucks
‘There will be vehicles and equipment such as jet skis and fire trucks, and demonstrations throughout the day, so bring the whole family,’ she said.
‘Marine Rescue are organising this event, and we are grateful for all they, and the other emergency service organisations, do for our community.
‘These organisations are all largely run by volunteers, and they deserve to be recognised, so come and show your support,’ she said.
