Each year since 2011 Walpole and district has been upholding its Emergency Services at a "Blessing of the (Emergency Services) Fleet" celebration on a Saturday closest to International Volunteer Day (5 December).
This web page joins in that salutation (held in 2019 on 30 November) and contains a brief history of the participant emergency services.
Tap the badge of the service for a brief outline of the Society's recorded history of that service in the district. Recorded with care, we apologise if there are any unintended errors or ommissions.
