THE summer's three-week heatwave brought firefighters from Farnham fire station out to Frensham Great Pond for a wildfire awareness and open water safety day.

The crowds of children having a splashing time on the beach were called together to 'rescue' some of the firefighters in a fun re-enactment that also carried a serious message for them and their parents.

For those that missed it, a similar event will be held at the pond on Saturday, August 10, from 11am to 4pm.
