NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) Namoi Gwydir Team last week received a new fire appliance.
The Bingara Men’s Shed has put in countless hours to build the new Community Engagement Mini Fire Truck. This truck will be used to educate children about fire safety across the Gwydir, Moree Plains and Narrabri Shires, and will be a valuable asset for the Namoi Gwydir Community Education Team.
David Withers from the Bingara Men’s shed handed over the “keys” to the completed appliance.
The Men’s Shed has been involved in a number of community projects, including work with Landcare and working closely with the Bingara Lions Club. “We have a few ongoing projects,” Men’s Shed organiser, Greg Nichols, said.
