20.01.2022 Australias most decorated Firefighter: 5032 Kevin Fletcher NSWFB Kevin died in 1996 and unfortunately, his prized medals fell into a private collector's hand...s. Not seen by family and public since they were put up for auction Nov 2019 and now are in the hands of the Museum of Fire for display Star of Courage; Bravery Medal; National Medal; Royal Humane Society of N.S.W. Bronze Medal; N.S.W. Fire Brigade Conspicuous Bravery Medal. Star of Courage: On 1 April 1990, a fire broke out in the Boral Liquid Petroleum Gas storage facility at St. Peters in Sydney. N.S.W. Fire Brigade units from Alexandria and Newtown attended this fire, which was finally brought under control after a nine-hour battle. At one stage it was reported that a firefighter could not be located within the fire area and District Officer Alan Dwyer and Senior Firefighter Kevin Fletcher drove into the facility to search for him. During their search, a 40,000-litre storage tank suddenly exploded, sending a fireball hundreds of metres into the air. The firemen, despite being close to this explosion and in extreme danger, continued their search which was eventually successful. In 1992 at Government House Sydney, both were eventually awarded the Star of Courage for this incident. 13 Firefighters received Awards for this fire amongst these were two Star of Courage and four Bravery Medals Bravery Medal and Royal Humane Society Medal: On 19 April 1994, two cars collided at the corner of Dean and Kiewa Streets, Albury N.S.W., the 59 year old woman driver in the front vehicle being trapped by her leg. An LPG gas tank in the boot of her car exploded, engulfing the car in flames. Off-duty firefighter Kevin Fletcher now stationed in Albury was nearby and ran to assist. Entering the burning vehicle twice, he eventually freed the injured driver, being seriously burnt himself in the rescue. On 9 September 1994, Fletcher was awarded the N.S.W. Fire Brigades Conspicuous Bravery Medal for this rescue. Kevin Fletcher was awarded the Bravery Medal in September 1995 and the Royal Humane Society of N.S.W. Bronze Medal in October 1995 for this exploit. On 30 October 1996 Kevin Fletcher collapsed and died at Albury Fire Station while visiting. He was 49 years old. Kevin was given a Full Brigade Funeral which was attended by many fire fighters Statewide along with friends and family.
