A Sunday outing to the annual 2021 Emergency Services Day at Harrup Park meant more than just getting the chance to see a fire truck or police car for one Eungella family.
After being caught up in the 2018 Eungella bushfires, Shane Robinson said his kids were hoping to meet some of the first responders who helped their community through the disaster more than two years ago.
“It was tough. But the community came together and got through it,” Mr Robinson said.
“My wife has done a lot of work with raising money (since the fires).”
Son Ryder Robinson, 5, said he hoped to help people as a police officer when he is older.
