Echuca CFA brigade welcomed the community to its open day with a sausage sizzle, jumping castle, waster push fire trucks and children’s helicopter on September 11.
The open day coincided with the brigade’s 150-year celebration, a milestone that it captured through a photo wall of past and present members.
