On the 20th January, Cockburn SES and the Jandakot Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade went to Bunnings Cockburn Central for the annual Emergency Services Fundraiser.
The day is always a great one with Bunnings firing up the barbie for a big sausage sizzle!
Lots of City of Cockburn locals popped down for lunch, and talked emergency preparedness while the kids practiced what phone numbers to call in an emergency, visited the bouncy castle, and took some SES colouring in! Cockburn SES Volunteer Elesha also met a new friend ‘Stan’ from the SES WA Search Dog Unit who came to visit and support the cause.

Many thanks to Bunnings Cockburn Central for helping to fundraise for the volunteer emergency services!

Today we went to the Firies Breakfast to talk emergency preparedness along with our neighbours the South Coogee Bush Fire Brigade and the Jandakot Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade!!
Thanks to everyone for coming, it’s great see people get a head start on planning and preparedness not just bushfire season but for any Emergency!

Tonight Teagan, Fabio and Piper the Border collie from the SES K-9 unit came to visit and talk about their search training. Thanks so much to Teagan and Fabio for their time and to Piper who stole the show with her skill, we had an absolute ball.

We have a busy day out and about today!
If you’re heading to Bunnings Cockburn Central we will have our Sausage sizzle on, AND if you’re feeling in the festival mood come down to the Cultural Fair, bring the kids for a great day out- we’ll be there helping out with our public duties.
