“The combined efforts of four local volunteer bushfire brigades to protect and educate residents have been recognised at the Resilient Australia Awards.
The Wollombi Valley Community Firewise Program – conducted by the NSW Rural Fire Service brigades of Wollombi, Laguna, Bucketty and Millfield (Group 8, Lower Hunter Zone) – won a highly commended award in the volunteer/community group category at the national awards in Canberra earlier this month after taking out the state award in October.”
