A major highlight of the day was the welcoming of the squad’s new rescue truck into service, marking the next chapter in local emergency response capability.
A big thanks to all who attended the celebration.

Farming is taking to the skies, with drone technology transforming agriculture — from precision crop mapping and monitoring crop health to smarter livestock management.
With high-resolution aerial imagery and real-time data, farmers can keep a closer eye on irrigation, soil conditions, livestock, fences and hard-to-reach areas across large properties.
