Ada and Norm Spitty have been much-loved volunteers with Lovely Banks Fire Brigade for over 76 years, and for 70 of those they have been married.
Aged 91 and 94 years old respectively, Ada has assisted the brigade in a non-operational support role, following in the footsteps of her father Hughie who was the former Captain, while Norm turned out as an operational firefighter for a significant number of years.
They are both a very important part of the community. Ada is always happy to lend a hand, contributing ideas at meetings and catering for all the brigade members, and Norm was a regular in the truck when he was operational, and always helped with rolling the hoses after training drills.
Channel Nine’s A Current Affair dropped into the brigade to speak to Ada and Norm and their fellow brigade members about their service to the local community.
