RURAL FIRE STATION Woy Woy Rd Kariong

On August 22nd a group of us  had a really interesting visit to THE RURAL FIRE STATION at Kariong. We were given a tour of the inside and out of the Station  and really enjoyed a lovely lunch provided by the volunteers who work so hard on Canteen Duties during a fire.
If the fire fighters are fed as well as we were they do very well.
A lovely  Barbecue lunch with all the trimmings then a lovely desert.... We were well fed and watered. THANKS again Mick for organising an interesting outing with a lovely lunch thrown in....
Please see photo's below of the outing....


Some of the internal working area is explained to us...

ONE of the big fire trucks being serviced....

A very interested group listening to our Captain.....

Is that an emergency call coming in ????

Note the sprinkler system all round the cabin of this truck, there were also special fire proof curtains inside.  Just in case this truck is caught in a fire it offers some protection for the fire fighters inside.


ALL PAYING ATTENTION.....
