Paul Cavalier of Gulgong has been awarded the Australian Fire Service Medal (AFSM) in the General Division

Paul joined Fire and Rescue NSW at Gulgong Fire Station in 2005, at just 17 years of age, and has been their captain for 19 of those years.  Paul also holds the distinction of being one of the youngest firefighters ever appointed to the rank of captain in FRNSW, which is said to be a testament to his exceptional leadership and commitment from an early age.
