Deepest condolences to the Roache family on the passing of Pat. The Roache family have had a long association with the Nalangil CFA Brigade since its inception over 80 years ago. Pat was a key member of the Brigade management team who transformed the Brigade from fighting fires with knapsacks and canvas beaters to the fire trucks and a new shed that exist today. The Brigade sends its sympathies to the family at this time.
