 Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (09:46): On Saturday Merrijig Rural Fire Brigade celebrated 100 years of volunteer service. This is a big deal, and they put on a big day to celebrate. The history of the brigade and past captains were recognised with the opening of the Captains’ Avenue of Honour, which is a great way to acknowledge the roles. Like all rural brigades, it was formed by local farmers, on land donated by the McCormacks, and it was great to see Cobie, Darbie and Miller McCormack be part of the formalities by raising the flags. Congratulations to Captain Anthony Wakeling.
