Maidenwell Rural Fire Brigade volunteers will be able to see a bit clearer at night, thanks to a recent donation by the Kingaroy RSL Club.
First Officer Richard Don and firefighter Max Forsyth picked up a cheque for $300 at the club on Thursday.
They will use the money to buy a rechargeable portable LED floodlight.
“We have one and tried it out and it was so handy that we will now get another one,” Richard said.
The pair were also full of praise for the new 7000 litre tanker “North Coast 73” which will be based at McEuen Rural Brigade but will be available for use at fire throughout the region.
The Maidenwell trucks will be able to fill up from the tanker parked on a roadway nearby rather than have to hunt down a local supply from a dam or creek.
