The new Seabird Fire Shed was officially opened, last Friday night. Acting CEO, Sabastian Camillo, and the Seabird Fire Control Officer, Les Hunter, welcomed guests and visitors to the function. The new fire shed was funded by FESA from the Emergency Services Levy (ESL) at a cost of about $160,000.
The brand new fire shed will house two fire trucks that will be called upon by the Shire of Gingin to fight bush fires.
The Seabird Volunteer Brigade, with approximately 22 members, has seen action in many bush fires in the local area including duty at the recent Dwellingup and Roleystone fires and fires in and around perth metro area.
This shed replaces the old garden shed and is fully self contained and will also be used for training of new volunteers in the surrounding areas, but as a model for new volunteer fire
