Merimbula Rural Fire Brigade

09/05/2026

💐 Happy Mother’s Day to the incredible mums, grandmothers, and mother figures in our communities — especially our dedicated NSW Rural Fire Service volunteers.
Today we celebrate the women who not only care for their families, but also step forward to protect and support others when their communities need them most. From responding to fires and emergencies, to training, fundraising, and supporting brigade life — your strength, compassion, and commitment never go unnoticed.
Thank you for everything you do, both in uniform and at home. ❤️🚒

ANZAC Day is a time for Australians to come together, pause, and reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and mateship of those who have served our nation.

They shall grow not old. As we that are left grow old.Age shall not weary them. Nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.
LEST WE FORGET.
