Answer

I have received one briefing, BR-24-27 Meeting with the United Fire Brigades’ Association, dated 21 June 2024. Additionally, I received updates regarding the petition by Katherine Lamont for volunteer firefighters to receive ACC cover via the following Fire and Emergency Fortnightly Reports: - FR-25-5 Report to Minister for week ending 28 March 2025. - FR-25-6 Report to Minister for week ending 11 April 2025. - FR-25-7 Report to Minister for week ending 2 May 2025.
