Insurer to the rescue

THE Narre Warren SES has received new harnesses, compasses and torches enabling the unit to continue to respond to natural disasters, traffic accidents and emergencies in the City of Casey.
The new rescue equipment, which includes two super harnesses, one Euromax toolkit, four Silva Ranger compasses, two Energiser Tough torches and four traffic wands, comes as part of AAMI’s annual $450,000 sponsorship of the Victoria SES.
Narre Warren SES volunteer Brett Reddy said the program was an effective way for individual SES units to update some of the equipment and keep pace with technological advances.
“Often it’s the little things that make a huge difference, such as having a reliable GPS unit or a fully-functioning ladder or pole saw, which can make a big difference to our ability to be fully effective,” he said.
