THE Tooradin Fire Brigade was honoured for its heroic work in a special thankyou function at Tooradin Sports Club on Friday.
About 60 people, including Neale Burgess MP, gathered at the event for tea and drinks and to celebrate the local heroes.
“The event was inspired by the terrible Black Saturday fires, but we also wanted to recognise the work local firefighters do every day,” Tooradin Sports Club President Mark Griffiths said.
“The night was genuinely community oriented. It was a fantastic event sponsored by the sports club and Seagulls Bistro.”
