Dear Editor,
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank our volunteer firefighters from the Country Fire Authority (CFA), along with all emergency services personnel from across the region, for their incredible efforts during the recent bushfires and grassfires.
To the firefighters who have been out there, putting their lives at risk while facing the most challenging conditions, we say thank you – to you, to all emergency services, and to everyone working tirelessly on the ground. Also, to Azem and all of his volunteers at People Supporting People for providing meals around the clock.
The level of generosity, kindness and support shown by our community, and more broadly, has been incredible for those impacted by the devasting fires.
Whether you or someone you know has donated, whether it big or small, it is making a direct difference and means so much to those affected.
There is a long road ahead for impacted communities and all those affected, but I know we will continue to stand by them every step of the way.
Warmest Regards,
Kim O’Keeffe MP
Member for Shepparton District
