Kaarimba Fire Brigade celebrated 10 years since its new fire shed opened on Sunday, November 17.
Around 60 locals attended, viewing a display of memorabilia and enjoying entertainment from mini fire trucks powered by a fire hose.
Long-serving brigade members were presented with awards by BASO John Parnell.
Howard Lowe received his 65-year medal, which was overdue by a few years, as he has been a member for 69 years.
Doug McKeown and Col Grinter both received 50-year awards.
The Great Kaarimba Bake-off was also held at the hall next door, marking its 10th year after a break due to COVID-19.
The crowd enjoyed an afternoon tea with bake-off entries.
The huge cream sponges disappeared in minutes, and Trevor Carlisle’s famous man-sized scones were a favourite.
The trophy for the best men’s chocolate cake went to Stuart Grinter.
A pleasant and relaxing afternoon was had by all.
