Remembering Dennis

Hesket Kerrie Brigade members gathered recently to commemorate the tragic loss of Lt Dennis Collery on the fire ground 50 years ago on January 24. The following was contributed by the brigade in his memory:

Dennis John Collery, Lancefield District, 1973

In every way, Dennis Collery was awonderful young man. He loved life, he loved his family, and he took his responsibilities very seriously, both on the farm where he worked with his mother and father at Kerrie, near Romsey, and for the CFA, which he also loved.

Dennis had continued afamily tradition.

He was athird generation CFA member and already a2nd Lieutenant with the local brigade. The CFA was central to his life and living up on the Ranges, he knew how important it was to be involved.

So when fire broke out beyond Lancefield on January 24, 1973, Dennis and his fellow CFA members rushed to join the firefighting operation.

Dennis was driving the brigade truck. At one point he and the crew took aback road to refill the tank.

He suggested that another firefighter might like to take aturn at the wheel and he vacated the driving seat, taking up aspot between the cabin and the tanker instead.

This gesture may have saved another’s life, but it sealed Dennis’s fate.

As the truck headed back to the station for their next instructions –bynow 6pm or 7pm -a tree collapsed across it just where he was positioned.

Dennis suffered extensive head injuries. He was rushed to Lancefield Bush Nursing Hospital and from there to the Royal Melbourne. But he couldn’t be saved. He died just after midnight. He was 26 years old.

For parents John and Margaret, this was ahuge blow. Not only did they love their son very much, as they increased in age they relied on him enormously to help run their farm.

Denis was ahard worker who did much of the heavy lifting -and it wasabusy time of year, the lambs were ready for market.

With Dennis gone, practically and emotionally, life became very tough for them. They didn’t really find their feet again.

Dennis’s sister Barbara, just two years older than him, remembers the time clearly.

Married with two small children, her lasting memory of Dennis was sitting at the farm cradling her youngest baby, shortly before the incident took his life.

She remembers abeautiful man, good looking, strong, fun-loving, who enjoyed friends, photography and bush footy, but who most of all lived earnestly and responsibly for his family on the farm, and for the CFA.

He died in the line of duty, doing something he believed in, and he’ll always be remembered -byfamily left behind and by the grateful firefighting community he so strongly supported. Dennis Collery’s memory lives on not just locally at the Hesket station where there is amemorial but Dennis is also remembered at the CFA memorial in Melbourne for fallen firefighters.
