🚑❤️ AMBO RETIRES AFTER 50 YEARS ❤️🚑

Today we farewelled a true legend of our emergency services family! ❤️‍🩹 Steve Pollard today retired from Young Ambulance Station after 50 incredible years of service to the NSW Ambulance, many of them spent here in Hilltops!

Today's turnout really says it all... in a room filled with family, colleagues, and emergency services personnel from across the region, it was clear just how loved and respected Steve truly is!

Fifty years of care, professionalism and showing up in the hardest moments - Steve has saved countless lives, supported countless families, and mentored generations of paramedics along the way.

Over the past eight and a half years, I’ve personally leaned on Steve’s advice and guidance more than once. His steady counsel has helped shape better outcomes for our station and for paramedics across the electorate. That kind of wisdom is rare and deeply valued. You will be missed more than words can say, but your legacy in Young and across the service is enduring.

Thank you for everything! What a career... What a contribution. Sx 💕

On Monday afternoon 513 responded to reports of a house fire.
On arrival we found a 3 bay shed alight with thick black smoke issuing. Crews in BA with a 38mm hose cut their way in through a roller door. After extinguishing the fire we found a bank of lithium ion batteries from a solar system in the far corner of the shed.
Crews in BA cooled the batteries while waiting for hazmat bins. The bank of batteries were carefully dismantled and placed in the large hazmat bins full of water. Also destroyed in the fire was a ride on lawnmower, side by side and quad bikes.
Many thanks to RFS crews and RV 389 Harden. 🚒
