Brigades will rattle again for hospital

LODDON fire brigades will be part of a milestone edition for the Country Fire Authority this Easter.

They will again be out collecting for the Good Friday Royal Children’s Hospital appeal - the 75th year of involvement by volunteer firefighters.

Raising vital funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital has been a long-standing tradition for CFA members and only further reinforces their commitment, generosity and community spirit.

Over the past 75 years, CFA members have raised more than $41 million for the iconic Victorian cause, with hopes this year to raise more than last year’s $1.88 million.

“To get out in the community to promote the message of the Appeal and the work they do at the RCH is incredibly important,” said Deputy Chief Officer Trevor Weston.

“Make this Friday a Good Friday. Give what you can.”
