Such a wonderful service for a man who gave more than 50 years to the RFS serving his community.
Today the RFS family came together to farewell Senior Deputy Captain John Holmes, who passed away last month while helping battle the Bean Creek Fire in Kyogle. A celebration of John’s life was held in Mallanganee. Our thoughts are with John’s family, friends and brigade.

Today is St Florian’s Day andI had the enormous privilege of recognising valiant and courageous firefighters. They don’t do this work for the accolades but If you see a member of @FRNSW or @NSWRFS , please take a moment to thank them for the work they do in keeping us safe.
