25.01.2022 It is with great sadness to announce that one of our longest serving members Brian Menadue, has passed away on Thursday evening. Brian had been a member of the CFS and Salisbury brigade for 59 Years and 10 months. Brian held various roles in his career with the EFS and CFS, with his most recent seeing him be a duel member with both Salisbury and the Para Reserve Brigade assisting in alot of events and was also a very active representative for the CFS Volunteers Association fo...r both brigades. Brian has been a great friend, mentor, firefighter and was always happy to help out at any opportunity. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Our condolences go out to the entire Menadue family. Rest in peace Brian. Robert Turnbull Salisbury CFS Captain.

A conversation could change a life or even save a life & listening is the most important thing you can do right now.... #RUOKDay #TheresMoreToSay
