Officials from Queensland Fire Department were in Allora on Saturday for the recommissioning of the Allora Facility which houses both the town and rural brigades. Members of the Allora Rural Fire Brigade were happy to show off their new medium attack firefighting appliance which was handed over to them as part of the formal proceedings. James Lister Member for Southern Downs joined with the crew from the Rural Fire Brigade for a photo opportunity.

Darren Chandler of the Allora Rural Fire Brigade acknowledged the Handover of the recommissioned Allora Facility and gave thanks for the facilities and the new firefighting appliance. Darren made special mention of Fred McCann who celebrates 34 years with the Service. In that time Fred was Chairman from 1991 to 2006 before becoming a Fire Warden. The Rural Fire Brigade currently has twenty regular members.
