Books, baked goods and handmade hair ties were all up for grabs on Sunday as a group of children did all they could to raise money for the NSW Rural Fire Service.

Children from Lindfield on Sydney's north shore raised $1000 for the RFS by setting up stalls and selling the goods. The stalls attracted around 50 people from the community, including two firefighters who showed their gratitude by answering the children's questions about their job, and ringing their fire truck sirens.

The stalls were a combined effort from two local families.

After following the bushfire devastation on the news, mother Katrina Hetherington, said it was an important opportunity "to keep [the kids] aware of what is going on", and "think about other people".
