Congratulations to the Tom Price Fires & Rescue Service and the Tom Price Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade who have been nominated as Finalists in the Team Achievement Award in the 2018 Department of Fire and Emergency Service Fire Fighting Awards which will be held in conjunction with the Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council conference in Perth during September 2018.
The Shire is also proud to congratulate our Emergency Management Coordinator Morgwn Jones, who is also an award finalist.
This is great recognition for the 2 Brigades who actively promote a tenure blind approach to all firefighting activities within our communities.
In addition to the 2 Brigades being finalists in the Team Achievement category young cadet Callum O’Connell is a finalist in the Youth Achievement Award. This caps a remarkable year for Callum who earlier this year was named the Emergency Services Cadet of the year for the State, along with the Tom Price Senior High School who won the Host School of the Year Award and were also Finalists in the Cadet Unit of the Year Award.
Local Chief Bush Fire Control Officer Morgwn Jones is a finalist in the Murray Lang Bush Fire Service of WA Award in recognition for his service to the Tom Price VBFB and the communities within the Shire of Ashburton.
To have the Brigades along with Callum and Morgwn nominated as finalists in their respective categories is a wonderful achievement for the small town of Tom Price and a small piece of recognition for the wonderful work that our volunteer fire and emergency services do within our communities.
