Queensland Rural Fire Service deputy chief fire officer Tyron McMahon, assistant chief fire officer Tony Hazell and Inspector Justin Smith made the presentations.
Mr Hazell looked after the brigade when he was a Rural Fire Service brigade training and support officer in the mid-1990s which made the presentation more personal for all involved.
A RFS spokeswoman said the awards were presented on ‘Thank a first responder day’ which was special and noted by all.
“All attendees enjoyed a barbecue dinner afterwards which provided an opportunity to connect and reflect for staff and volunteers,” she said.
