Mr CLAYTON BARR (Cessnock): I would like to formally acknowledge Captain Warren Redfern of Kurri Kurri Fire Station, who is retiring from Fire and Rescue NSW after an outstanding 40 years of service at stations including Morisset, Dubbo and Kurri Kurri. Serving as Captain of Kurri Kurri Fire Station for the past 6 years, he has led with exceptional professionalism, dedication, and courage. Throughout his career, Captain Warren Redfern has been recognised with the National Medal, the Fire and Rescue NSW Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, a Meritorious Service Commendation, and a Unit Commendation for Meritorious Service, honours that reflect his exemplary commitment to protecting our community. His leadership, mentorship, and unwavering service have left a lasting legacy within Fire and Rescue NSW and the Kurri Kurri community. I respectfully request that Parliament acknowledge and celebrate his extraordinary contribution and decades of selfless service.
