Greetings to you all from the Richmond Fire Protection Association for 2010 with things been rather quite with all the rain we decided not to do any articles for December and January.

For December and January we had 412mm of rain and only about 20 days of Sunshi...

There were quite a few people who popped in to see our Display and from the comments were amazed at what we can see from our Camera detection setup. We would like to thank the organisers for the stand and for the donation towards t...

What a wonderful start to August with beautiful rain that fell, varying from 20-55mm in the area. This lead to a nightmare of Mud and slush for the Eston mountain bike race which was held on Sunday the 2nd. The main race of 60km was not only a race of Extreme endurance but of Major mental challenge. I realised that we have people who are very committed to their sport most o the races consisted of riding a couple of hundred meters and then stopping to scrap the mud off so that the wheels...
