Three generations of Owens at Beaconsfield

Glynn, Liam and Rhys Owen

 

Recently Liam Owen turned 11 years old and joined Beaconsfield Fire Brigade as a junior member. This was not surprising given that dad Glynn and pop Rhys are both firefighters in the brigade.

 

Rhys has been a CFA member for 38 years. He first joined Hampton Park Fire Brigade and has been a member of Beaconsfield Fire Brigade for the past 27 years. Rhys is an operational member of the brigade as well as a junior leader in the brigade.

Glynn has been a member of CFA for 24 years at Beaconsfield Fire Brigade having initially joined as a junior member. Glynn is also an operational member and also the junior program coordinator.

"Liam had been counting down the days until he could become a junior member," Glyn said. 

"Rhys and Glynn have made and continue to make a significant contribution to the brigade," Beaconsfield Captain Phil Walton said. "If Liam follows in their footsteps, the Owens will play a big part in the brigade for many years to come.
