Country Fire Authority Morwell brigade

Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) (09:47): I also rise to extend my warm congratulations to the Morwell fire brigade on reaching an outstanding 110 years of dedicated service to the people of Morwell, the Latrobe Valley and the wider Gippsland community. Established in 1915, the Morwell fire brigade has stood as a pillar of courage, professionalism and community spirit. Morwell’s ongoing presence and commitment have been instrumental in safeguarding life, property and the wellbeing of our community. I want to congratulate each and every one of the past and present volunteers for their responses in times of emergency, public education, disaster preparedness and ongoing level of training. You are heroes in our land, and we thank you. Please be proud of your very worthwhile achievement.
