🚒 Supporting the volunteers who support our community – Presentation 6 of 17 🚒
Continuing our series of CFA brigade presentations, we’re pleased to share the sixth of seventeen local brigades across the Dandenong Ranges receiving a $10,000 donation from Community Bank Upwey & District and Community Bank Emerald & District.
Together, these donations represent a $170,000 investment back into our local fire brigades, supporting the important work they do to help keep our community safe.
Our Business Development Manager, Andrew, recently had the pleasure of visiting Belgrave Fire Brigade to personally present the donation and hear how this contribution will support their brigade.
“The Belgrave Fire Brigade will be upgrading our brigade bus, and this donation will be allocated to this project. The vehicle is an important operational asset, used to transport crews to incidents and provide crew relief during emergency operations. It also supports our junior brigade program, helping to transport and engage our junior members in training, events and brigade activities”
It’s fantastic to see how this support will help provide better facilities for volunteers and assist the brigade with future needs.
We look forward to continuing to share how these donations will make a difference across our local CFA brigades.
