Honours Night 2011
Congratulations to the brigades recipients of service awards this year, who received their honours on Saturday night 19 November. "Honours" are awarded to recognise service provided by members and an Honours Night is held once a year at which these are presented. This year a combined Hamilton volunteers and career staff Honours Night was held at Hamilton Central Station but unfortunately due to industrial action our paid colleagues are currently undertaking, very few of them were in attendance.

Master of Ceremonies for the evening was inimitable Fire Safety Officer Ross "Jiggy" Fleet, while Area Manager/Commander Roy Breeze was on hand to present awards and friends & family of brigade members attended to witness the presentations. All honours presented this year were United Fire Brigades Association service honours for length of service:

QFF Cain Manley - 3 year certificate
