"It's a privilege to be recognised at this level," Allan said.
Allan is one of four finalists from the VRA.
It's not the first time Allan has been up for the award; he was also named a finalist in 2016.
The Rotary Districts of NSW Emergency Services Community Awards (RESCA) are community-nominated awards and is the only time all Emergency Services personnel, both paid and volunteer, are recognised in a combined awards program.
Finalists are drawn from Fire and Rescue NSW, the NSW Rural Fire Service, the NSW State Emergency Service, Marine Rescue NSW, Surf Life Saving NSW, NSW Ambulance, and the NSW Volunteer Rescue Association.
Included within the Awards program is the Dorothy Hennessy Emergency Services Youth scholarship of $1000 for a volunteer from age 18 to 25 for further career development opportunities or further training.
Winners for each service, plus two special overall winners, and the young volunteer will be announced on Saturday, August 14, 2021. The overall winners for NSW will then represent the state at the National Awards to be held later this year.
