GEORGE Filev has been praised for embracing and championing the Country Fire Authority volunteer charter during his decade leading Tarnagulla Fire Brigade.
He was toasted at a community thank you on Saturday night in the town’s historic Victoria Hall.
Leading praise for George’s leadership was Rheola brigade member and former professional firefighter Mark Gilmore.
Mr Gilmore said George had selfishly brought his time and skills to the brigade’s work in protecting life and people and making the community safer.
“During his 10 years as captain, George has actively promoted fire prevention and been part of the great partnership among brigade members where there is enormous mutual respect and co-operation,” he said.
New captain Kelly Whitton also thanked George for his support and encouragement of members.
More than 70 people attended the evening to show their appreciation for George’s work.
