24.01.2022 Congratulations to Robbie Graham, a long term member of our party, who today received Australian Fire Service Medal. Robbie is a Group Captain and has served NSW RFS over the past 50. NSW Rural Fire Service wrote this about Robbie:... Group Captain Robert Graham joined Goolmangar Brigade in the Lismore District on 1 February 1969 at the age of 21. He became Captain in 1983 and also took on the role of Secretary the same time. Meetings were held at the Goolmangar Hall until the Brigade shed was built in 1984. He was Captain of the Brigade until the amalgamation with the Coffee Camp Brigade. Over the years, Group Captain Graham has held the positions of Captain, Deputy Captain, Brigade Training Officer, Brigade Callout Officer, Treasurer, Secretary, President, Permit Officer, Deputy Group Captain and Group Captain. He still holds the positions of Permit Officer and Group Captain today. He is also a member of the District Training Team and was awarded Life Membership of Goolmangar Brigade in 2009. Group Captain Graham has been deployed to numerous out of area S44's including Tumbarumba/Tumut, Kyogle, Woodburn, Yorklea, Evans Head, Clarence, Narrabri, Coonabarabran and Mt Kosciusko, Victoria, Blue Mountains as a Group Captain and South Australia as a Crew Leader. He has also attended over local 200 incidents. Other major disaster incidents he has assisted with are the Lismore City Hailstorm, Lismore Floods and Queensland Floods. Group Captain Graham is a very well respected leader and his knowledge and experience on the fireground instils confidence and determination in the members who work with him. His dedication to the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) is equal to none. He is a person you can depend upon in any situation and is always ready to drop everything and attend incidents. Group Captain Graham is actively involved with all Brigades, not only within his Group, but across the Northern Rivers Zone. He is also Chair of the Zone's Bush Fire Management Committee and sits on the Zone Liaison Committee. His local knowledge and in-depth understanding of community issues and concerns holds him in high regard. Group Captain Graham is the instigator and driving force behind the Zone Exercise, drawing together Brigades from within the Zone and neighbouring Zones to participate in a skill-honing day of exercises. Group Captain Graham can be called upon for advice and readily responds to call outs and conscientiously attends meetings, even at short notice.

12.01.2022 FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS We all know too well, particularly over the past few days, how dangerous it can be to be a firefighter. If you hav...e been fighting on the front line, first of all thank you. If you are a volunteer, you may be entitled to financial support if you have lost income fighting fires and helping with the recovery effort during Australia’s bushfire crisis. Payments to cover income loss are now available for RFS and SES volunteers who have spent more than 10 days volunteering as part of the operational response to the recent bushfires. Payments are tax-free and are not means-tested. Head to https://www.service.nsw.gov.au//apply-volunteer-firefighte for further information and to apply for financial assistance. Please share this with anyone you know who may be entitled to access these payments. Thank you again to our amazing volunteers, I am proud and humbled by the sacrifices of all our firefighters.
