Brisbane Firefighter Memorial Remembrance Day

10th October 2004

Sunday 10th October 2004 - 10.00am
QFRS - Brisbane Region
Annual Commemorative Service

Today I attended my first Memorial firefighter service, partly because during our many road trips Matt & I discovered 3 names that were not on the Role Of Honor for those firefighters who lost their lives while on duty. At the end I have - as a mark of respect added those firefighters lost and in bold are the names that through our vigilance and follow up were this year added.
My many thanks to Matt for those many road trips to which we were able to bring those 3 names to light and have them honoured as they should.

I was extremely relucant to take photos being at a church and at a memorial service, but being at the service was more a celebration of remembrance and so I took only afew.

"With Firefighters all around Australia we pause at this time in which we remember those members who have given their lives for the community. May they all be remembered in our prayers. We pray for the safety of all Firefighters. May we also remember fallen colleagues and their families around the world."
