It is with much regret that the members of Red Hill report the passing of Roy Setter.
Roy Setter at work in Red Hill – January 2019
Roy joined Red Hill Fire Brigade on 18 December 1950, only ten years after the brigade was officially formed. Roy served continually until his passing. He held the position of 1st lieutenant, communications officer and apparatus officer.
He was awarded the National Medal, 65-year service medal, Honorary Life Member of CFA, Brigade Life Membership, and a Unit Citation for service (Setter family 400 years of service to CFA).
Roy was always around the station and attended all brigade meetings. He manned the station while the firefighters were out and helped clean the hoses when they returned. He epitomised the spirit of CFA.
The Red Hill Brigade family is deeply saddened by this loss.
