CFA – Traralgon South Brigade

Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) (10:04): When the Traralgon South CFA volunteer brigade turned up to a vehicle fire this week, little did they know that it would be their own slip-on vehicle that the community’s generous donations and the CFA had raised funds for. Yes, there were some recalcitrant people who broke into the to Traralgon South CFA, not only stealing their slip-on vehicle but also a whipper snipper, a chainsaw, leaf blower, a filing cabinet and donations. That is a pretty low act. I would like to say a sincere thankyou to all of those wonderful Traralgon South CFA volunteers and that community that has got behind such a wonderful organisation that continues to protect life and property and serve our community. I also know that when the Minister for Emergency Services receives an application for a grant for a new slip-on vehicle she will be most sympathetic to the loss for this community – the loss of this piece of equipment that served our community so well.
