How many coffees can the baristas at Tommy’s Cafe in Gosford make in one hour?
They hope to be put to the test on Saturday, May 18, from 10am.
Anyone who buys a coffee will have that money donated to Gosford Fire and Rescue while the fire engine is outside Tommy’s.
A week after the official open days of the Coast’s fire and rescue services, the Gosford crew will take their fire engine to Tommy’s at 10am for about an hour.
Anyone will be able to check out the beautiful firefighting machine – and buying a coffee while the fire brigade is there will see their money donated to the firies’ favourite charity Beat the Burn.
Beat the Burn raises funds for Station 2 – which is the official firies’ name for the burns unit at the Children’s Hospital, Westmead.
All stations in NSW have a station number.
Fire and Rescue stations across the Coast include Wyong, Kincumber, Wyoming, Umina, Toukley, The Entrance, Terrigal, Saratoga, Kariong, Hamlyn Terrace, Doyalson, Budgewoi, Berkeley Vale, Bateau Bay and Gosford.
Staff donate to Beat the Burn in a number of different ways such as payroll deductions or participating in riding, running hiking and paddling challenges at a yearly beat the burn event held over four days.
Keep an eye out for the fundraising helmets scattered around the coast.
