NSW RFS - Mt Keira Brigade

06/05/2026

St Florian’s Day is an important day for firefighters across the world. On this day, Firefighters across many agencies are honoured for their service and bravery in protecting their communities.

This year members of Mt Keira Brigade were honoured with a Commissioners Unit Citation for Service at the NSWRFS Training Academy on St Florian’s Day. The Citation was awarded for their exceptional efforts during the localised flood event in April 2024.

The Commissioners Unit Citation for Service recognises those members that responded to the incidents on that day putting their lives on the line to help their community in a time of need.

We as a Brigade are proud of our members for upholding our values and for exhibiting bravery during these events.
