The stations are holding a Charity Barefoot Bowls Afternoon and Auction on Saturday February 28 from 4.30pm for retained firefighter Matthew Jackson.
Mr Jackson and his wife were injured in December after a scooter they were riding was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident.
Organiser Paul Berry said Mr Jackson is still in hospital and faces months of rehabilitation before he will return to work.
"If we raise $100 it's $100 more than he has now," he said. "If we make $500 or $5000 we just want to give him a helping hand."
Mr Jackson has been a retained firefighter for the past 10 years, where he is on call 24/7 outside of his regular work.
For $25 anyone is welcome to turn up and take part. There will be raffles during the day and a barbecue dinner included.
The money raised from the event will go to the Jacksons to pay for medical an living expenses.
More information about the event is available by contacting Paul Berry on 0419 887 148.
