A message to Emergency Service workers Australia-wide Talk to us Phone us Email us Breadcrumbs Firefighters Mutual Bank About Us Member news & media 2019 media releases Message to Emergency Service workers 31 December 31 December Since the early bushfire season started in November 2019, catastrophic bushfires have continued to impact many parts of Australia with devastating effects to towns, bushland and wildlife. We are in awe of the firefighters who put the needs and safety of the community ahead of their own, as well as the communities themselves who have suffered so much loss but continue to support each other. In the face of crisis you have demonstrated true bravery and mateship. All of us at Firefighters Mutual Bank are devastated by the tragic loss of RFS volunteers, who were on duty serving their local communities. Our thoughts are with their families, friends and fellow Brigade members. To all Emergency Workers Australia-wide, we stand alongside your communities in acknowledgement of your outstanding commitment and care in assisting with the safety of the public and their property. We know you go above and beyond, and we are so grateful to you for all that you do. Firefighters Mutual Bank is so proud to be part of the Emergency Service sector and we wish for no more than the safety of all involved and more favourable weather conditions to assist with the continuing work being undertaken. We will continue to monitor the situation, and stand ready to respond as and when it is needed.
