They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.

Tonight we celebrated someone who is always behind the camera and very rarely in front of it, our very own Lieutenant and Secretary Amanda!
Last year she was nominated for life membership of the Newman VFRS, tonight she was presented with the life member medal and certificate whilst our AO was in town.
Amanda has been a volunteer firefighter in our brigade since 2014. Spending the last 8 years as our Secretary and was our first female Captain and Lieutenant in the history of the Newman VFRS.
We think she well and truly deserved to be recognised for this but also for all the behind scenes things she does for us from organising our fabulous annual dinners (mainly solo!), organising and assisting with our training courses, making sure we are fed on jobs and at BBQs (treating us to yummy potato bake and cheesecakes 🤤🤤), kicking our butts when we haven't done something, making sure we are always doing the right thing, making sure things are clean, straight and not crooked (even if we do it just to annoy her OCD 🙊)

Please join us in congratulating her on this achievement and 5 seconds of limelight 👏

🚒Newman community please read🚒

Whilst Newman VFRS are grateful to the community and appreciate people messaging our page when they have cars they no longer want, we do not appreciate people dumping their cars outside our vehicle compound without speaking to anyone first. This now creates extra work for our volunteers as we are currently not taking vehicles and need to organise for these to be removed and rehomed elsewhere.

Thank you from the Newman Volunteer Fire Brigade 🔥

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the devastating Polair crash on 26th January 2001 that tragically claimed the lives of 4 WA Police Officers.

Today, we remember Senior Constable Donald Everett, Senior Constable Philip Ruland, First Class Constable David Dewar and Constable Gavin Capes. 💙💙💙💙

Whilst time has continued for us, they will never be forgotten. We continue to remember them every year on their anniversary and through the Bloodyslow Games in October.

How did we spend our weekend?
With 21hrs on the fire ground, patrolling, waiting for this beauty to burn to us. With good weather conditions for a slow burn it progressed towards the golf course at a rate where we could manage the fire with a small crew in a high spinifex area.
It made for some good photos, burning in an area we estimate hasn't burnt for 15+ years!! Put a few of us to work using knapsacks to tackle the rocky terrains underneath.
Thanks to BHP for also joining us in the fun!!

If you're wanting to join our fun come see us Wednesday nights from 7pm

Well this was sure a first for us! 🤯 Maybe even a first for Pilbara brigades! We spent last night assisting Newman Police investigating what this foreign object was. Special thanks also to Newman SES for assisting our crews with their operations. 🔥🚒👩‍🚒🚒👨‍🚒🚒💥
