Residents are encouraged to support the Armidale Dumaresq RFS by heading down to Bunnings Warehouse Armidale, between 9am & 4pm, to buy a snag or make a donation.
Team members will be running sausage sizzles with support from local emergency services volunteers, with every cent raised going directly to support the Armidale Dumaresq RFS.
NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons, said he is pleased that Bunnings is once again offering their support to emergency services through this great initiative.
“Our 74,000 members are working every day to help protect the community from bush fires, and this Australia Day will be no different. I’d like to thank Bunnings and their customers for supporting our volunteers in their important work.”
NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons, is also inviting everyone to visit Bunnings Warehouse Armidale to grab a snag.
“As summer continues, I urge everyone to be prepared for fires. It is not only important for everyone who lives in a bush fire prone area to prepare their home, but also to have a discussion with their family about what you would all do if a bush fire took hold in your area,” Shane said.
Bunnings Area Manager, John Newell, said the Aussie Day Weekend Fundraiser BBQ is a way for team members and all Australians to show their appreciation for the great work done by local volunteer emergency services around the country.
“The team is really excited to get behind the barbecue to help raise vital funds for our local NSW Rural Fire Service,” said John.
Family activities, fun games and entertainment will also be held throughout the day.
