Toolangi Rural Fire Brigade is very proud to have two members who have received the National Medal. This award recognises prolonged exposure to hazard in the service of the community. It is presented to operational members in approved organisations that protect life and property at some risk to their members. This includes government agencies such as ambulance, correctional, emergency, fire and police forces, and voluntary organisations such as lifesaving and search and rescue groups. The National Medal is Australia's most awarded civilian medal.
As from 13 October 2008, all registered CFA members, are eligible to receive the CFA Service Award on their next year of service anniversary date. This is in 5 year intervals. Prior to this date service awards were awarded at 12 years, 20 years and then in 5 year intervals. Below are the awards awarded to our members.
