Rotary Club of Mundaring
Raising
The Roof
The Rotary Club
of Mundaring recently gave new meaning
to the expression ‘Raising The Roof’.
The photo depicts members of the club in the
process
of erecting one of two gazebos built to commemorate the efforts of
local
and more distant fire brigades that fought the disastrous bushfires
in
Parkerville, Stoneville and Mt Helena on 12 January 2014,
which destroyed 57
homes and damaged many more.
The magnificent
efforts of the brigades involved,
over three hot and windy days, prevented even
more devastation.
The shelters were erected using
funds from the Rotary Club of Mundaring,
the Rotary Club of Swan Districts along
with a District Grant
a
Natural Disaster Recovery Fund Grant from the Westpac Bank
and with invaluable
support from the Shire of Mundaring.
The shelters
are positioned on the path that the fire
took on that awful day and will stand
as a reminder
that we should be ever vigilant,
as it could all too easily
happen again if we become complacent.
Note:
The Kelpie is there to nip the heels of anyone slacking off!
