Gilgandra Rural Fire Brigade

Gilgandra RFS Brigade is deeply saddened by the passing of Stephen “Basho” Basham AFSM.

Basho was a dedicated leader within the NSW RFS, and a true pillar of our community. His decades of service, mentorship, and commitment to volunteers will never be forgotten.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Marita, their family, and all who knew and loved him.

Basho’s impact on Gilgandra and the RFS will live on in every life he touched.

Rest in Peace, Basho.
