New tanker hits the road OCEAN Grove Fire Brigade has officially received the keys to its new 3.4 C Heavy Tanker. Although the truck has been at the brigade car park for some time since arrival, the volunteers’ new vehicle was finally handed over for service on Sunday last week. The Ceremony held at the station was attended by the Emergency Services Minister for Victoria, Hon Jane Garrett who handed
the keys to 1st Lieutenant Steve Gibbs. The tanker was acquired by the Brigade using funds provided by a grant and through donations made to the brigade from Ocean Grove community organisations such as Rotary, the Lions Club and Ocean Grove Bowling Club. The brigade’s old tanker was sold to a private buyer in country Victoria.
OCEAN Grove CFA used the handover as an opportunity to thank the Rotary, Lions and Bowling clubs for their support in raising the funds for the new tanker.
