Cranebrook Fire Station to Welcome New Recruit

Erin Martin

Stuart Ayres MP, Member for Penrith today announced that Cranebrook Fire Station is set to welcome new firefighter, Erin Martin who graduated at the Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Emergency Services Academy in Western Sydney on Friday.

Stuart Ayres said Erin has signed up for one of the most demanding and important jobs in the Penrith community.

“These recent graduates have proven themselves capable of meeting the challenges of being a firefighter over months of intense training, and we are lucky to have them on the front line keeping our community safe,” Stuart Ayres said.

Minister for Emergency Services, David Elliott congratulated the recruits and welcomed them into the firefighting family.

“They are a special group of men and women and the first of a new generation of firefighters to start their journey and hone their lifesaving skills at the FRNSW Emergency Services Academy.”

FRNSW Commissioner Paul Baxter said the graduates had proven their abilities over months of intense training.

“These recruits have shown they have the diverse skills, capabilities and talents required to undertake the varied work that our firefighters do – from educating the community about fire safety and providing emergency medical care to responding to natural disasters and hazmat incidents,” Mr Baxter said.

“They’ve been trained to be prepared for anything and I know they will uphold the high standards of integrity, courage and professionalism expected of a FRNSW firefighter.”

This is the third FRNSW graduation in 2019 with another ceremony scheduled for later in the year to bolster frontlines across the State.
