🚒 Would you or someone you know love to get up close and personal with a specialist 30-tonne Airport Fire Truck? 🚒
This Sunday you’ll get the chance! Myself and the rest of the Aviation Rescue Firefighters from Perth Airport will be at Whitfords Nodes taking on a 24-hour Telethon challenge, climbing up and down the stairs non-stop for 24 hours while wearing our firefighter breathing apparatus which weighs about 17 kilograms.
👨🚒 I’m a local firefighter and father of three, and this challenge means a lot to us. Last year our team climbed higher than Mt Everest and raised more than $20,000 for Telethon. This year we’re going even bigger, aiming to complete as many laps as possible and raise over $25,000 to help sick kids across WA.
🔥 We’ll have one of our specialist 30-tonne aviation fire trucks on display throughout the event, so if you or your kids love fire trucks, come down, say hi, take some photos, and have a chat with the firefighters taking on this huge challenge.
📍 When: THIS Sunday 12 pm – Monday 12 pm (we’ll be climbing all through the night)
📍 Where: Whitfords Nodes Stairs, Hillarys
💛 Why: To raise more than $25,000 for Telethon 2025
