PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION
NEW TANKER
FOR GLENHAVEN BUSH FIRE BRIGADE
After many years fighting bush fires with a World War 2 "blitz buggy" fitted as a fire tanker, the Glenhaven Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade at last has a modern vehicle. It is a "used" one, but nevertheless a big improvement on the old one.
The Brigade recently took delivery of this International tanker and a working bee has carried out the final fitting of auxiliary equipment to make it a complete fire-fighting unit. It includes a powerful winch for winching itself or other vehicles out of [overtyped word] trouble.
With this tanker, and their Landrover, plus an influx of keen younger members since the fires early in 1975, Glenhaven Brigade is confident that it is better able to combat fires in its area or to lend more effective support to other brigades who may need help in their areas.
