Today they joined in the search for a missing person at Blind Bight.

Whilst foot crews searched areas near water, our Bike Crew were able to search tracks and open areas of vegetation.

How did you spend your 2025-2026 Financial Year?

Your Heidelberg SES volunteers responded to 974 Requests for Assistance!

From searches to floods and severe storms, trees on cars, roads and homes, leaking roofs, sinkholes, deploying the Mule, and responses across the state, our members responded to a wide range of incidents.

Our volunteers also delivered education sessions, donated blood, contributed to emergency planning and found time to celebrate our member's milestones. And of course, we did lots of training!

How did you spend your Monday night?

Your Heidelberg SES Volunteers were out and about, training for a flooding event.

Members undertook a significant pumping exercise to practise flood response operations, equipment deployment and teamwork, all in a realistic environment.

We train to keep our skills honed so we are ready to respond when needed by our community.

Your Heidelberg and Nillumbik SES units recently came together to light up an Emergency Relief Centre, both inside and out, as well as practise some casualty handling.

While we hope such a situation never arises, the exercise ensured we are better prepared and more capable of responding effectively should it become a reality.

This morning, volunteers from your SES Heidelberg Unit responded alongside FRV, Ambulance Victoria and Victoria Police to assist with recovering a patient approximately 50m down an embankment at the edge of the Yarra in Fairfield.

After FRV and SES cleared a path through dense vegetation, FRV’s High Angle Rescue team deployed specialist equipment to secure the patient into a basket stretcher.

SES and FRV crews worked together to safely haul the system to higher ground where the patient was transferred to the care of Ambulance Victoria.

Victoria Police supported by managing the scene and assisting the patient throughout.

Thanks to the combined efforts across all agencies, the patient was recovered without any major injuries.
