Fire and Rescue New South Wales firefighters in Narromine have saluted one of their own, after the passing of Bob Treseder late last month.

FRNSW firefighters, Rural Fire Service fighters, and members of the Narromine Volunteer Rescue Association held a guard of honour for Mr Treseder, following his funeral on Friday 6 June at St Mary's Anglican Church.

Mr Treseder spent 47 years in the local fire service and was deputy-captain of the Narromine Fire and Rescue Service for 28 years from 1985, until his retirement in 2013.

Mr Treseder joined the New South Wales Fire Brigade on 15 September 1966, after seeing the brave and valiant Narromine Fire Brigade fight a big fire at the Flower Mill in 1964.

Narromine Mayor and long-time friend of Mr Treseder Ewen Jones recalled his great incredible service and dedication to the community.

"Whenever the old Fire Station Siren, or later when we were issued with pagers would activate, Bob would literally “drop everything” and rush to the station," wrote Mr Jones.

"Bob could be on the phone to a sales rep, or serving a customer, when the fire call come in, and he would just head for the station.

"There was a story told at his funeral that he even “borrowed” a pushbike one day to get there quicker."

Mr Treseder was also the recipient of the Narromine Citizen of the year on Australia Day 2013.

He is, to date, the longest serving Firefighter to ever serve at 401 Station Narromine. His son Peter has followed in his footsteps and celebrates 40 years of service this December.

"Bob’s funeral was very well attended, by former and present firefighters from Nyngan, Trangie, Peak Hill, Wellington, Cowra, Dubbo and Narromine," recalled Mr Jones.

"St Mary’s church was overflowing with his family, friends, old work colleagues, and many people Bob had probably helped out in one way or another.

"Rest in peace my mate Bob, I will truly miss you.

"My condolences to Charmaine, Peter, Garry and Vicki and extended families."
