🌟 Editor's Note
Good morning {{first_name | resident}},
Welcome number 17!
Today I cover some recent news regarding the Fairfield petrol fire. I’d like to extend a full hearted thank you to the brave men and women in our emergency services sector for promptly handling the crisis and every other crisis as we enter the summer season.
I’ve also put out the missing pet notice for Almond a second time today, in case you missed Monday’s email. If you’ve lost a pet in the Western Sydney area please reach out and I’ll post a notice for you.
Norman.
