On Tuesday night, the Acting District Manager along with our Group Officers recognised several members with the Premier’s Emergency Citation for their outstanding service during the major New South Wales floods of 2022–2023.

These floods, which spanned two years, set records for rainfall and flood levels across multiple regions. The dedication and commitment shown by our members during this time has had a lasting impact, deeply resonating within the communities they served.

We are incredibly proud of their efforts and the difference they have made.
