🧡 Building Skills On and Off the Water ⚓🚤

Last night's training saw our marine rescue members on the water sharpening their skills with towing exercises, vessel inductions, rafting, mooring techniques and night-time vessel operations. 🚤⚓🌙

At the same time, our newer recruits continued progressing through their SES Toolkit training, developing the knowledge, skills and safety awareness required before attending operational incidents and Requests for Assistance. 📚✅

Whether on the water or in the classroom, every training night helps ensure our volunteers are ready to respond when the community needs us most. 🚨

🚨🧡 National First Responders Day at Port Lincoln Junior Primary School 🧡🚨

Today, Port Lincoln SES joined fellow first responders from Lincoln CFS, Fisheries, South Australia Police and SA Ambulance Service for a special thankyou breakfast and two Q&A sessions from the students at Port Lincoln Junior Primary School as part of National First Responders Day.

Students and staff provided a warm welcome, including a moving welcome to Country that was also presented in sign language. We then spent time answering questions about our roles and sharing what it means to serve the community.

A highlight of the morning was a heartfelt video created by the students and staff thanking first responders for the work they do.

It was a humbling and emotional reminder of the strong connection between emergency services and the communities we serve.

👏 Thank you to everyone at Port Lincoln Primary School for your hospitality, kindness and support. It was an honour to be part of such a special event.

🚨 TREE DOWN RESPONSE – CHARLTON GULLY 🚨

Port Lincoln SES volunteers responded this morning to a Priority 1 request after a tree branch partially blocked Charlton Gully Road.

🌳 While this was a relatively small obstruction, even minor hazards can cause drivers to brake suddenly or swerve, increasing the risk of an accident. Early intervention helps keep our roads safe.

👏 It was also great to see one of our newest recruits attend his first Priority 1 incident, gaining valuable experience alongside our experienced volunteers.
