Happy Mothers Day! 💜 💐

Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mums out there, especially those in our emergency services 💐💙

For Ruvi, being a mum means the joy of shaping little lives into kind, caring people... and of course, the endless hugs along the way!

Ruvi and her family have called the Kimberley home for the past 10 years, after moving from Zimbabwe to Melbourne and then finally settling in Fitzroy Crossing and embracing life in a remote community. Over the last three years, she has been proudly serving alongside her husband as part of the Fitzroy Crossing Volunteer Fire and Emergency Services.

We'd love to see your photos, hear an iconic story or simply tag that person you want to celebrate today 🙌

Today, on International Firefighters' Day, we pause to honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, and to pay tribute to the courage, sacrifice and unwavering commitment of firefighters.

These moving words are a fitting tribute to the brave individuals who put themselves in harm's way to protect our communities - we express our deepest gratitude to all firefighters for your service.

A few quick tips to keep everyone safe:
• Check the fire danger rating before you light up
• No burning on Total Fire Ban days
• Have water or a hose ready to go
