A national initiative led by Fortem Australia that encourages Australians to express their gratitude to

June 10th is the day to recognise the people who attend emergencies, respond to disasters, provide medical assistance, and help keep us safe every day. The day also acknowledges the families who support fire and emergency service workers and volunteers who protect and support communities across the country.st responders behind the scenes, often making significant sacrifices of their own.

Across Australia, first responders attend countless incidents that most of us hope we never have to encounter. These situations are often unpredictable, physically demanding, and emotionally challenging, however first responders perform their duties with professionalism and commitment. Their contribution is woven into the safety and resilience of every community.

Thank a First Responder Day reminds us that behind every emergency response vehicle is a person who has chosen a profession or volunteer role dedicated to helping others during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Today we take the time to show our appreciation for our dedicated Region 2 Ops Brigade volunteers and their supportive families, Thank you.

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.

Happy International Women’s Day
On International Women’s Day, we acknowledge the women who stand beside us in many ways — as firefighters on the truck, as partners who support the callouts at all hours, and as mums and daughters balancing family life with the commitment to serve their community.
Volunteering with the CFS takes time, dedication and resilience, and the women in our brigade bring all of that and more. Whether responding to emergencies, supporting the team behind the scenes, or keeping families strong while others answer the pager, their contribution is invaluable.
To the women of The Region 2 Ops Brigade and the women who support what we do — thank you for the role you play in protecting our community.
And if you’ve ever thought about joining the CFS, we’d love to hear from you. Women play an important role in our brigade and there’s a place for people of all backgrounds and abilities who want to help protect their community.
Happy International Women’s Day
