It is with great sadness that we inform our community of the sudden passing of one of our members, Stuart.

Stuart had been a member of Upper Yarra SES for the past 3 years. He joined with his wife Dianne to help support his community and their daughter (our Unit Controller), Hannah.

He was a loyal, supportive team member, often quietly working behind the scenes with improvements to the unit and always with an excellent “Dad Joke” at the ready.

Many thanks to our neighbouring CFA brigades, who have flown their flags at half mast in honour of Stuart.

Our thoughts are with Stuart’s loved ones at this very difficult time. May he rest peacefully.
Thank you for your service, Stuart
🧡💙🧡

Hey neighbours!
What a chilly, windy start to winter!
The weather bought a busy season opener to our crew with 10 requests for assistance in 24hrs.
Trees down on roads, on driveways blocking access, on a house and onto a car parked in a driveway.
Our team attended to these trees from early morning to late at night and are now back to work at their paid jobs ready to go again at a moments notice.
Great work guys & gals.
🧡💙🧡

Huge congratulations to two of our amazing volunteers - our fearless leader, Upper Yarra Unit Controller Hannah and 12 year veteran Michael tied the knot yesterday 💕
What a beautiful day that was just perfectly them. We all wish you both a lifetime of happiness and adventures together.
Big shout out to the crew from Lilydale State Emergency Service for covering our area for the day/night.
