Boyne Valley Rural Fire Brigade in the Gladstone RFSQ area will receive $5,926.90 towards roller doors and electrical work on their shed. The brigade services an area of 977.19 sqkm. The brigade notes that their existing roller doors are in need of repairs and quite often get stuck, “a possible safety issue” and something that could “prevent us from getting our fire tuck out of the shed in a hurry”. This is Boyne Valley RFB’s first general RFBAQ grant.
