CFA volunteer firefighters from Gruyere through to Warburton were given a strong show of support on Sunday 26 June, as they voiced their opposition to what they say is a union take-over of the CFA.
The convoy included volunteers from Gruyere, Wandin, Seville, Hillcrest, Hoddles Creek, Yellingbo, Yarra Junction, Wesburn/Millgrove, Warburton, Reefton and Little Yarra brigades.
Hillcrest CFA Captain Fiona Burns said people came out to the roadside, honked their horns, flicked lights and gave the volunteers the thumbs up out of their cars as the convoy passed.
“It’s always really good to see that level of support out of the community and it is really appreciated,” she said.
