LAUNCESTON firefighter Graham Wyatt has received his 20-year medal for long service and good conduct in the fire service.

Graham was presented last week with the medal by crew manager Karl Hockridge and watch manager Andy Sleeman at Launceston Fire Station.

The medal has an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on one side, a depiction of firefighters handling a hose on the other and his name engraved around the edge.

Andy told the Post of how Graham ‘is one of Launceston’s most experienced crew members’ and his expertise will be invaluable in preparing to take on two new recruits in November.
