Photos from this fire are now online here.

To help raise funds for our new van we are holding a raffle for this pedal car fire engine.

We will be selling them at a sausage sizzle in the middle of the Taradale Shopping area from 9am to 1pm on Saturday 26th January and Saturday 2nd of February. If you cannot make it but would like a ticket they are for sale at Greenmeadows Hire during opening hours.

Ailis the Fire Dog will be there on Saturday the 2nd February and you can have your photo taken with her. She will be there 10am to 11am and 12pm to 1pm
