Kel O’Shea lives in Australia is a volunteer for the RFS and has been collecting patches since 1984. His website has been online since 2006.

I am a volunteer fire fighter in Hill End (Chifley) in the Central West of New South Wales, Australia and joined around 30 years ago. Living in a rural community and bush fire zone, I wanted to support my community by volunteering my time.
