SES Sale Unit

A busy day across the state, as wild winds lash across from the west.

Our unit has been out and around this afternoon sorting out trees down and building damage caused by the wild winds (including our own shed roller-door!)

Thanks as always to our crews, working to keep our community safe. 👍

And a big thanks to the team for their time and efforts today!

Tonight our members enjoyed a night out together, to celebrate a successful year as a unit, and share awards as nominated by each other.

This year has seen a great increase in member numbers, with some fantastic, dedicated new members joining our team!

This year, we also did the awards from the previous year, as we were unable to at the time due to limited availability.

2024 awards:
Probationary Member: Gavin Horder
Member of the year: Jonathon Marshall
Peer award: Wendy Russell
Geoff Perkins Award: Maureen Russell

2025 Awards:
Probationary Member: Robyn Hale
Member of the Year: Gavin Horder
Peer Award: Maureen Russell
Geoff Perkins Award: Matt Stagg
Attendance Award: Deklan Powell (100% attendance at training)

We're super thankful for all of our members contributions throughout the year!

We also thanked our outgoing unit controller Codie Powell for her time in the hot-seat, as she hands the reigns over to Wayne Gray to lead us through the year ahead!

Thanks to our community too for our ongoing support. 😁

For your safety, please be aware of works near or under trees and power lines and avoid working or being outdoors if storms are likely or approaching.

This morning, Sale SES was pleased to be able to assist VicPOL in support of the Wall2Wall ride for fallen mates.

Our unit provided traffic control assistance at the Wurruk roundabouts while the riders passed through, on their way to Canberra over 2 days.

Apologies for anyone inconvenienced by us blocking the intersections, but it was in support of a great cause!
