Perth Airport’s Aviation Rescue and Firefighting team will attempt a 24-hour treadmill relay at the Telethon Family Festival. Around 20 firefighters will walk continuously while wearing heavy uniforms and breathing apparatus. The event will take place at RAC Arena’s Challenge Yourself Hub on October 17 and 18, allowing the public to witness the crew’s endurance test. The team aims to raise funds for Telethon, inspired by the resilience of sick children they support.
