FAWNA has an annual member’s achievement award, named after National Parks and Wildlife Service fire services manager, the Late Bryce Laut. Bryce was killed while on fireground duty in Kumbatine National Park back in 2008 and FAWNA remembers him each year with this award for significant achievement by a member.
