A minute’s silence has been observed now in honor of fallen firefighter, Daniel Howard, on the 10th anniversary of his death, at Cobar in the state’s Central West.
Fire and Rescue NSW Commissioner, Jeremy Fewtrell, Assistant Commissioner – Regional Operations, Cheryl Steer, and Executive Director of Business Co-Ordination, Compliance and Reporting, Kelly McFadyen, joined “Howie’s” friends and family at a special ceremony at the scene of the tragedy in 2014.
Daniel’s bravery and service
Commissioner Fewtrell laid a wreath to acknowledge the popular 37-year-old, who died when a wall collapsed during a large blaze at a local hotel. FRNSW Senior Chaplain, Jason Goodhart, has also recited a prayer for Daniel during a gathering at his gravesite.
Commissioner Fewtrell said, "Daniel’s bravery and service to his local community will never be forgotten."
