About 
The Annual Memorial Service that honours those members who have lost their lives in the line of duty is being held on Sunday 6 May 2018.
The service will commence at 2pm at the South Barwon Civic Centre, 2 Colac Road, Belmont near Geelong.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of the five Geelong West firefighters (2/12/1998) at Linton and also 35th Anniversary of Ash Wednesday (16/2/1983) where CFA Members from Nar Nar Goon, Narre Warren, Panton Hill and Wallacedale lost their lives on that day at various areas around Victoria.
The Annual Memorial service is held on the Sunday closest to International Firefighters’ Day and St Florian’s Day (4 May). St Florian is the patron saint of firefighters.
The Annual Memorial Service is an event to honour and commemorate the lives of CFA firefighters who have not returned home from the fireground. It's a time for reflection and just one of the ways we can remember the lives of 67 CFA members and 11 Country Fire Brigades Board and Bush Fire Brigades Committee firefighters (prior to the formation of CFA), who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and given their lives in service to protecting our communities.
All are welcome to attend this service.
