A memorial service for the late Laurie Thomason AFSM will be held at the Buffalo Sports Stadium Forest St Woodend at 2pm on Thursday the 8th of October 2009.
The body representing CFA volunteers has urged people in the Geelong region not to be anxious over irresponsible claims that they are not adequately protected from fire.
