Brian passed away yesterday following a workplace accident on his farm.
Many of you in the fire family remember Brian for not only being the Bambaroo 1st Officer for 23 years, but also from him and his brigade deploying across not just the Hinchinbrook but all of Queensland for fires, cyclones or floods.
Long term commitment such as his, and that shown by the thousands of brigade members across Australia is a demonstration of what makes this country great.
We truly hope that his family find comfort in that he was cherished by many and respected by all.
Once details become available from his family, we will make them available.
