This week, we share an interview with Jenelle Parkinson, a member of Myalup Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade. Jenelle shares some of her personal story about how, as a single mother of young children, her parents encouraged her to join the local volunteer Bush Fire Brigade to help her build personal connections in her community. More than a decade later, Jenelle tells us she is very proud that after her positive experiences, her 60 year old mum has become one of the Brigade’s most active firefighters.
