This Road Safety Month, we're recognising the SES volunteers who are ready to respond when serious crashes happen on our roads.

Over the last 12 months, SES volunteers have attended more than 530 road crash rescue, vehicle accident, and vehicle recovery incidents across South Australia, demonstrating their commitment to supporting communities and partner agencies in times of need.

Over the same period, 214 volunteers participated in 44 Road Crash Rescue training courses to develop and maintain this highly specialised capability. Through extensive training, SES volunteers are trained to safely access damaged vehicles and help free people who are trapped working alongside other emergency services to help those involved.

Pictured are our Berri SES volunteers, who recently took part in a Road Crash Rescue training course to keep their skills sharp for their community.
