The Association of Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades WA praised the team of eight cadets through its news-letter this month.

“Through the dedication and hard work of not only the Quinns Rocks cadet team, but also many volunteers who helped them with critical fundraising and training for the big event, the future leaders ranked an extremely impressive third in Australia,” it said.
