This month marks the seventieth anniversary of the Loftus Volunteer Bushfire Brigade. We honour its members both past and present. This brigade has a proud history and over the years has put in a lot of effort developing its members and strengthening its relationship with the community. That includes responding to bushfire and flooding incidents, including in Woronora, Wisemans Ferry and the mid North Coast, attending motor vehicle incidents and hazard-reduction activity. The Loftus brigade is now well established and can boast more than 70 members. It is deeply respected by the local community it serves. I thank each and every one of the volunteers for their dedicated service, especially those who fought to protect communities during the 2019-20 fire season. I congratulate them all on their hard work, dedication and commitment to the community and the service, and I wish the best to this fine brigade for its seventieth anniversary and for many more years to come.
