Council are pleased to help facilitate the donation of a HINO truck from Illawarra Hino, to the BlazeAid camp in Kangaroo Valley.

BlazeAid volunteers are currently based in Milton and Kangaroo Valley, helping our community recover from the bushfire disaster. In the time the organisation has been in the Shoalhaven they have produced 1, 277 volunteer days, cleared 28.8km of fencing, re-built 10.55km of fencing across 26 properties.

Illawarra HINO approached Shoalhaven City Council’s fleet to ask if there was any need of a support vehicle for the regions Bushfire Recovery. Property Unit Manager, Trevor Cronk with the assistance of Economic Development Manager, Greg Pullen, quickly accepted the offer and recommended the company donate use of the vehicle to BlazeAid.

BlazeAid have expressed their thanks and mentioned how this vehicle will change their operations in Kangaroo Valley, allowing them to move larger equipment between locations.
