Heroes on parade by torchlight in Craigieburn

Craigieburn’s local firefighters will stand side by side on a different front when they lead the town festival’s traditional torchlight parade on Saturday night.

Hume mayor Casey Nunn (centre), who spent four days and nights cooking and cleaning up for 450 frontline firefighters at the local emergency relief centre last week, will join the parade as an ambulance service volunteer.
