Bundalong CFA heroes honoured

The ceremony, held on Thursday, June 22, saw 33 Moira Shire volunteers from across various brigades, receive the National Emergency Medal in front of family, friends and fellow CFA colleagues.

The National Emergency Medal is part of Australia’s Honours and Awards system and recognises significant or sustained service to others in a nationally significant Australian emergency.

CFA Acting CEO Jason Heffernan spoke of his pride for the CFA members’ efforts.

“Our medal recipients have exemplified that spirit, and I am incredibly proud of each and every one of them,” Mr Heffernan said.

“Whether they joined a firefighting strike team, worked in an Incident Control Centre or provided other assistance to affected communities – every contribution was valuable made a real difference.”
