Each year CFA coordinates the AFSM award nominations on behalf of volunteers and staff.
Any CFA person can put forward a nomination for someone they know who deserves to be honoured.
Introduced in 1988, the medal is awarded twice a year in recognition of distinguished service by a member of an Australian fire service.
The prestigious award honours the exceptional contribution members of the fire service make to protecting lives and property; those who may have gone above and beyond their duties or achieved something remarkable in difficult or unusual circumstances.
Previous CFA recipients include Nicole Harvey, Allan Cracknell, Mark Gilmore, John William Atkins and Gwynne Brennan.
Nominations close 1 May 2019. All nominations are strictly confidential
