Organiser of the walkers group, Shirley Rixon said: “We are one of the many community organisations to support and recognise the bravery and continuing spirit of the fire fighters as they protect our communities in both the town and rural areas.”
The day raises money through the sale of red balloons and funds raised return to the state fire services where sales of the red balloons took place.
