15th October, 2024.
I had the pleasure of attending the official opening of the Buxton Rural Fire Brigade Station extension on Sunday 22nd September 2024. I was joined by RFS Commissioner Rob Rogers, Joe Fenning RFS, and Superintendent Daniel Osborne, District Manager for the NSW RFS Southern Highlands, and volunteers of the Buxton Rural Fire Brigade. Established in 1939, the Buxton Brigade continues to grow stronger each year. Today, the Buxton Brigade boasts 45 dedicated members and plays a crucial role in safeguarding the local community. Their team responds to a wide range of emergencies, including bushfires, grass fires, motor vehicle accidents, search and rescue missions, structural fires, and hazard reduction. They also provide essential support to the NSW SES during flood and storm clean-up operations. The dedication and service of this brigade are truly invaluable to the safety and security of Buxton and surrounding areas. Thank you to the volunteers and staff who keep our towns and villages safe during disasters, bushfires, mishaps and more. Your work doesn't go unnoticed.
