Celebrating 75 Years of the Bouldercombe Rural Fire Brigade

Last night, we came together to celebrate a very special milestone - 75 years of the Bouldercombe Rural Fire Brigade

It was a wonderful evening of good food, great company and reflecting on the history, dedication and community spirit that have shaped our Brigade over the past 75 years.

A sincere thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this occasion. Your presence helped make the night special, and it was fantastic to bring everyone together to recognise this important milestone.

A big thank you to the Rockhampton Leagues Club for hosting us and providing such a delicious meal.

Most importantly, thank you to our Brigade volunteers - past & present.
For 75 years, our Brigade has relied on the commitment of volunteers who give their time, skills and energy to protect our community. From responding to fires and attending training to maintaining equipment and supporting local events, their contribution extends well beyond the call-out.

To everyone who has been part of the Bouldercombe Rural Fire Brigade over the years, thank you for the part you have played in building the Brigade we are proud of today.
