Dear Mr Dunlop,
The Premier of New South Wales is awarding a Bushfire Emergency Citation to recognise the outstanding contribution of volunteers and service agency personnel who played a significant role in the emergency response effort to combat the 2019-2020 bushfires.
The 2019-2020 bushfires were the worst in the living memory of the state of New South Wales. The catastrophic conditions impacted life, communities, property and the environment on an unprecedented scale. The dedication, selfless actions and sacrifice with which so many responded will not be forgotten.
We are delighted to advise that you will be receiving this special award, which consists of:
- The NSW Premier’s Bushfire Emergency Citation
The insignia of the Citation is a rectangular silver framed navy-blue bar featuring a red stripe to signify the bushfire event, and the NSW State Flower (Waratah) - A Letter from the Premier of NSW and a Certificate co-signed by the Premier and Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons
- An embroidered Commemorative Cap
The NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet is administering the award. The organisation you supported during the emergency response has nominated you in accordance with the award criteria and is being provided with the above items to present to you in due course.
We warmly congratulate you on your recognition and thank you for your service.
Sincerely,
The Premier’s Protocol Unit
NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet
