Firefighters across Queensland paused on Saturday to remember their fallen colleagues as part of Firefighters\u2019 National Day of Remembrance.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the last two firefighters to die while on duty were both from the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

In February 2012, South Nanango Rural Fire Brigade officer Brendon Goldsmith collapsed and died while doing a community presentation on fire safety at the Nanango Cultural Centre.<\/p>\n

And in 2010, an officer at Taromeo Rural Fire Brigade, Kortney Watts, died after collapsing at a hazard reduction burn.<\/p>\n

Emergency Services Minister Jo-Ann Miller attended the Brisbane Region Commemorative Service at St Brigid\u2019s Church in Red Hill and paid tribute to the 50 Queensland firefighters who had lost their lives in the line of duty since 1877.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe tenth day of the tenth month is the National Day of Remembrance for fallen firefighters. It\u2019s a chance for all Queenslanders to acknowledge the supreme sacrifice they have made while protecting our community,\u201d Ms Miller said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDays like today are a sobering reminder of the danger faced by all career and volunteer firefighters. Without a doubt, their courage makes Queensland a safer place and we should never forget that.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirefighters begin every shift not knowing what lies ahead. Despite this uncertainty, they continually put themselves in harm\u2019s way to carry out their duties \u2013 often without recognition.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
