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!

Our training nights are getting busier!

This week, while our newest crew members prepared for their Crew Supervised assessments in the coming weeks, the rest of the team took our 2 large trash pumps and our boat to the Port of Sale.

We recently recieved a new pump, which is a little different to the old model, so it was a good opportunity for new and old members to have a go at setting them up, starting and running them, and then packing them down again. (We use these a lot during storm events!)

Other members took the opportunity, ahead of upcoming boat deckhand training, to practice reversing our Zodiak semi-rigid boat down the ramp to water level. (We also checked the boat for operational readiness)

This training also reinforces lighting, driving skills, and teamwork.

Well done, crew. And thanks to our safety supervisors, Jonno and Craig, for keeping an eye on us (from the comfort of a nearby seat 🤣)
