Last night the Firefighters’ Presumptive Rights Compensation and Fire Services Legislation Amendment (Reform) Bill 2019 passed through the Upper House and will become legislation in Victoria.
There were around 50 volunteers attend two Marine Search and Rescue (MSAR) scenarios at Lake Nagambie on the weekend, co-ordinated by VICSES, Victoria Water Police and EMV’s Marine Search and Rescue Office.
Victoria’s emergency management sector is always looking at new ways to protect local communities, such as the trial of night firebombing during the 2018/19 fire season.
Work has started on building the Victorian Emergency Services Memorial to honour Victorian emergency services personnel who have lost their lives while serving the community.
Orange was the theme today, as Victoria celebrated Wear Orange Wednesday, a day to recognise the work of the volunteers from the Victoria State Emergency Service (SES).
Every year on 4 May we recognise International Firefighters’ Day, where we show our appreciation for those who selflessly protect people, communities and properties every day of the year.
