Good feed and catchup for our crew this morning with families in tow. Our regular big breakfast is always a hit. Thanks to our brigade for all of your work.

With profound sadness, we share the loss of Daphne Price. Daph was an invaluable member of our brigade, initially through her husband Kevin and later with her sons Bruce and Jason. She was consistently found lending a hand at our competition demonstrations and was always joyful in helping our members during large incidents with food and anything else that was needed.
Our heartfelt thoughts and deepest sympathies are with her sister Carlene, as well as children Bruce, Tracey, Jason and their families.

Tonight, The Franklin Fire brigade held the end of year Bbq with family and friends. Was great to all get together for a good feed as we celebrated the service our good mate Floz has given the brigade over the last seven years. You will be missed but we wish you and the family all the best with your move West. Merry Christmas 🎅 from all of us
