NSW Minister for Emergency Services Troy Grant was in Leeton last week to anounce new equipment will be delivered to Rural Fire Service (RFS) brigades across the region.
Mr Grant visited the Fivebough brigade on Friday to congratulate MIA district volunteers and staff for providing outstanding service and to present a grant for a new thermal imaging camera.
“This valuable new piece of equipment is worth over $8000, but to the staff, volunteers and the communities they protect, it is a priceless asset,” Mr Grant said
“The new camera will allow for the very active Fivebough brigade to see hidden fire hot spots and be better prepared to respond.”
Mr Grant was joined by Member for Murray Adrian Piccoli on the visit, who was pleased with the donation.
“I trust this new thermal imaging camera will be put to good use, and that it will better protect volunteers from dangerous unseen hazards,” Mr Piccoli said.
