FOUR young CFA members in the Dandenongs and three community members were recently rewarded for completion of a defensive driving course.
Thanks to the Anthony and Travis Hall Memorial Driver Education Fund, the young members had the chance to participate in the Level One Defensive Driving Course.
To acknowledge their achievement, awards were present to Nathan Birch (Macclesfield CFA), Alexander Hatcher (Clematis CFA), Jake Honeyman (Belgrave CFA), Lincoln Bulkeley (Upwey CFA), Jack Anderson from Upper Ferntree Gully, Jay Visser from Selby and Jayden Stewart from Belgrave South.
The memorial fund perpetuates the memory of Anthony and Travis Hall, who were aged 15 and 13 respectively when they were killed in a road accident in Cockatoo in January 1995.
Both boys were enthusiastic members of the Upwey Junior Fire Brigade, with Anthony being the Junior Captain at the time of the accident.
The fund is designed to remember Anthony and Travis in a way that is beneficial to the community.
The fund has received tremendous support from local fire brigades and local residents.
Upwey brigade members and the fund management committee are thrilled the objective of the fund has now been achieved for 18 years.
They will continue to be provided annually.
