ACT Fire & Rescue 100th Anniversary Torchlight March

ACT Fire and Rescue celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Canberra with a Torchlight parade held on Friday 14 June 2013. The march started at Griffith Oval and went along Captain Cook Cresent, then through Manuka Shops, culminating in a joint services BBQ at the Canberra Fire Museum, Forest. This was the original fire station for Canberra.

Past and present members of ACT Fire & Rescue led the march to the beat of the drum and sounds of the pipe bands. The parade included members from all other emergency services including ACT Ambulance, AFP, SES, ACT RFS, NSW Fire Brigades, and TAMS. The historic Bedford 112 heavy bushfire tanker was also fired up for this special occasion. (Photos: Gary Hooker).
