OBERON Fire and Rescue is proud to introduce its newest firefighter, David Ward.

Mr Ward, who is the work health and safety manager at Borg Panels, comes from a long construction history in the Hawkesbury.

In the short time Mr Ward has been in Oberon, he has already shown the town pride and community spirit of a third-generation local and is super pumped to go away to the fire academy in two weeks, leaving his fiancée Emily and daughter Harper to hold the fort.

We are looking forward to helping channel his seemingly endless levels of enthusiasm and work health and safety knowledge to further build the 411 team for years to come.

Fire and Rescue NSW is a world-class emergency service organisation. Firefighters help anyone, anywhere, responding to any emergency necessary, and we are passionate about safety, education and prevention.

If you, like Mr Ward, feel you have something to add to the 411 team, please contact the station commander on 0408 923 589.
