Breaking: Ticker tape parade announced to honour our bushfire heroes

Firefighters, volunteer firefighters, wildlife rescuers and service crews will all be honoured - by Amy Sinclair
  • 16 Jan 2020

In an Australian first, a ticker tape parade will be held to honour our amazing bushfire heroes.

Brisbane will host the event to celebrate and thank Queensland’s 700 firefighters, volunteer firefighters, wildlife rescuers and carers as well as service personnel.

It’s the first time in our nation’s history that a ticker tape will be held to honour heroes of a bushfire crisis, with the parades usually held to congratulate sporting stars. 

The Courier Mail reports that the event is expected to be held mid February, and will go through the city centre and King George Square.

‘This is an opportunity for Brisbane residents to recognise and publicly thank our courageous firefighters, defence force, emergency services and wildlife carers for their incredible efforts,’ Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner told The Courier-Mail.

‘We have volunteer firefighters, some of whom who have dropped everything and left families and jobs behind to fight these fires interstate and across the southeast in the past few months.

‘There are hundreds of other unsung heroes, including the SES, defence services, wildlife rescue groups and carers who have given their time and the expertise to the assist in the aftermath of one of this country’s worst natural disasters.’

It’s believed other states may follow suit with their own ticker tape parades to honour the heroes who have and still are battling fires in NSW, Victoria and South Australia.
