Members of the Loftus Rural Fire Brigade will gather tonight to celebrate 70 years’ service to their local community.
Member for Heathcote, Maryanne Stuart MP and RFS Assistant Commissioner Kelly Quandt AFSM will join brigade members, family and friends and other special guests at an event at Miranda Diggers tonight.
Ms Stuart said the event is an opportunity to celebrate the brigade’s history and congratulate members past and present for building the brigade into the community focal point it is today.
“The Loftus Brigade has a proud history of community and spirit across 70 years of operations,” Ms Stuart said.
“From the 1950’s to now, the members of this brigade I am sure have seen much change, from what I am sure were humble beginnings to the world class outfit it is today.
“The brigade is at the forefront of volunteering, supporting the community in preparing for the threat of fire and actively responding when emergencies arise.”
