Maffra Fire Brigade - Open Day!!!

Open Day

 

The Maffra Fire Brigade held an Open Day on Sunday the 16th May 2004.

This Open Day was for the official handover of our new Tanker 2.  The day started at 1pm with the official handover, and moved into displays and tours of our facilities.

The open day went very well, with approximately 100 people attending throughout the day.  Starting at 11am with an invitation only lunch for brigade members, families and officials, the hand over of Tanker 2 occurred at 1330hrs.  The day was a huge success, with all impressed by the new vehicle.   The Maffra Fire Brigade would like to thank all those that attended.

Some of the attractions were:
