Today our Shire of Pingelly staff and Councillors proudly wore orange in support of SES Wear Orange Wednesday (WOW Day) 🧡

WOW Day is a chance to recognise and thank the incredible volunteers of the State Emergency Service who dedicate their time to helping keep our communities safe—often in challenging and unpredictable conditions.

We’re grateful for the vital work our local SES volunteers do for Pingelly and beyond, and we wear orange today as a show of appreciation for their commitment and service.

Thank you, SES volunteers—you make a difference every day! 👏🧡
