Ending 2022 with a bang

THE warm weather on Saturday evening provided the perfect conditions for children at the New Year’s Eve Kid’s Street Party to get up close and personal with the Hamilton Fire Brigade’s hoses. Trying their luck at one of the activities are Ezrah Elson, 6, Hamilton, and Cooper Hobbs, 4, Harrow, alongside members of Hamilton Fire Brigade (from left) Lieutenant Liam Kavanagh, Firefighter Paul McCallum, Firefighter Susan Little-Anderson, and Firefighter Blake Moritz.
