With 2026 year upon us, Training about to start back and new members almost ready to start things are of to a good start.

However with the beginning of a new year it is often a time for reflection and time for our seasoned members to decide to Hang up the boots and pass the reigns onto someone else.

It is with Sadness that we announce Hans has decided to retire from the SES after 32 years of dedicated service to the Hills, to Moreton Bay State Emergency Service, to State Emergency Service - Brisbane Region and Queensland State Emergency Service.

After a hectic week and a busy year the Arana Hills SES Group wrapped up training for the year. We celebrated with a BBQ with support from Mark Furner MP for Ferny Grove and Matt Constance.

We were also able to recognise one of our own after Jess Nick won the SES Officer of the Year at the First Responders Dinner in October. Jess had been enjoying a well earned holiday and only recently returned, just in time to help out with the storm response last week.

Whilst we have finished our formal training for the year the SES is still available every day on 132 500.

Asbestos Roof Safety

Severe weather damage can be stressful, but please don’t climb onto an asbestos roof to make your own repairs. The risk to your safety and health far outweighs any quick fix.

If your roof is damaged, keep clear of the area and contact your insurer or qualified professionals who are certified to work with asbestos. Our SES volunteers are also unable to access an asbestos roof, but we can give you a hand moving your furniture or cover it with black plastic to protect from roof leaks until the professionals can take a look. Call 132500 or use the SES app.

Your safety and the safety of our vollys is always the priority.
