Country Fire Authority Buninyong–Mount Helen brigade
Michaela SETTLE (Eureka) (13:10): Another huge milestone is being celebrated. This is the year of the 150th anniversary of the Buninyong–Mount Helen fire brigade. To put this into perspective for you, this brigade predates the telephone, the light bulb and, yes, it is even older than sliced bread. Over these 150 years, the brave men and women of the Buninyong–Mt Helen fire brigade have protected thousands of homes and put their lives on the line for our community. To all the past and present volunteers of the Buninyong–Mount Helen fire brigade, thank you. I wish the brigade all the best for their 150th anniversary celebrations in July. I feel very lucky to have such remarkable people in the electorate.
