The Jamberoo Rural Fire Brigade held its first trivia night to raise funds for specialised equipment at Club Jamberoo on 9 September.

Tickets for the night were a hot button item, with all 100 tickets selling out in 10 days to 10 tables of trivia enthusiasts.

The night was hosted by the quizmaster and Deputy Captain John Temlett, who swapped out his orange firefighting gear for a retro velvet purple suit, assisted by firefighter Jen Maclean.

The night included six rounds of questions interspersed with games like “First in Best Dressed,” where participants dressed up like firefighters.

The charity auction was hosted by Brigade Vice President and veteran firefighter David Butcher, who sold a wide selection of items like artworks and a rare opportunity for a family portrait by well-known photographer and firefighter Linda Faiers.

Showing true dedication to firefighting, Brigade Captain Hannah McInerny left the event to respond to a grass fire and returned in full firefighting garb later that night.
