Tidbinbilla RFS gets a new shed.
For many years the Tidbinbilla Rural Fire Service has been located in a tiny shed (further North on Paddy's River Road).
For a shot time I was involved with this brigade, and I always found it amusing and a bit sad, that they could barely fit their heavy tanker into the shed. It was only a single cab (unlike the other brigades), and it had to have the tail positioned over the top of their workbench. Despite having this small shed, the volunteers there were a great group of people..
We watched the new shed slowly grow from the ground, and now it looks complete.
As taken from the ESA website:
The Tidbinbilla Brigade was established on the 25th February 1951, at a meeting held at the Gibraltar Creek Homestead. In it’s early days, the Tidbinbilla Brigade was comprised of a group of landholders from the Tidbinbilla Valley and the surrounding region.
Today the brigade has expanded to include committed and enthusiastic members from across the ACT. The brigade is very active at community events, including the Corinbank Music Festival, the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve’s Easter Extravaganza and Australia Day BBQ, among others.
They actively participate in hazard reduction burns and firefighting operations in the Tidbinbilla Valley and across the ACT, as well as interstate, as part of ACT Rural Fire Service Taskforces. As a small brigade our members get an opportunity to be involved in more activities and training opportunities than members of the larger brigades.
Waypoint 1 is the location of the old shed, and you can see they really did need a larger space.
This cace is a micro, and you will need to bring your own pen.
The hide is based on a hide I found elsewhere, just adapted for the local area. Please replace the hide correctly.
