QFES commissioner pays tribute to volunteer
Greg Leach, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Commissioner, has paid tribute to Lowood SES volunteer Merryl Dray, aged 62, after she died in a 'line of duty' accident on Friday night.
Lowood SES volunteer Merryl Dray died in an accident on Friday night.
"The Queensland State Emergency Service (SES) and broader Queensland Fire and Emergency Services family is saddened by the tragic loss of SES volunteer Merryl Dray during a flood response at Coolana in the Lockyer Valley overnight," Mr Leach said.
"Merryl was a much loved member of the Lowood SES Group where she volunteered more than 520 hours of her time over the last four and a half years.
"Merryl was trained in storm damage response, first aid and traffic control and was passionate about helping her local community."
The Dray family and the Lowood SES Group thank the community for the love and support that is being extended to them during this difficult time.
