"Good evening, everyone.
I'd like to thank everyone for being here today, showing their support to this agency and to the new trainees, that will be taking up a new career from today onward. I firstly want to thank the employees of the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, for this amazing year we can now reflect on. I have truly seen the dedication and resilience of this team that we can surely call a family.
We've faced many challenges together this year, and without each and everyone's support and hard work we would not have gotten as far as we had this year. Your commitment is what makes me proud to be at the head of this department. Going forward, I'd like to address the new trainees directly. This journey that you will be undertaking, will be challenging but also immensely rewarding. Embrace the knowledge that will be passed onto you by our field training officers.
Thank you all, for the hard work this year, the commitment and for being an important part in this department's development. I am sure 2024 will be an even better year for us."
