The brigade operates partially from funds derived from the Fire Levies paid by local rate payers but also there is a gap of several thousand dollars each year. Members carry out fund raising and the brigade is supported by a number of individuals and organisations. On this page, we would like to show our appreciation to those that support us.
Sponsorship and Funding
The Brigade sent crews to help out in the aftermath of the floods in Ipswich over many days in January 2011. One of the key requirements during that work was the need for 'sunsmart' clothing. After consultation with BOC Limited, a batch of sun smart, high visibility work shirts has been donated. Here is what BOC Limited had to say:
BOC acknowledges that the community involvement and support that the Ripley Valley Rural Fire Brigade has provided in assisting with the massive clean up effort from the devastating Qld Floods earlier this year is an amazing example of people coming together to help others in a time of need. When we got the letter from George Ganzenmuller asking if we could kindly contribute new shirts for the Fire Brigade members, it was a very easy decision to make. BOC is proud to make this contribution in addition to the previous donations to the Qld Premiers Flood Appeal which now exceed $450 000. Thankyou and congratulations to all members of the Ripley Valley Rural Fire Brigade for volunteering your time to help keep your community safe and clean. - Paul Garrett, Safety Specialist - Brisbane, BOC Ltd.
The Brigade would like to express it's gratitude to BOC Limited for their generous support of the Brigade.
