In a heart-warming display of community spirit, local residents have come together to donate new equipment to the State Emergency Service on Winnetts Road in Daisy Hill.

It's been 1 year since floods devastated many parts of our City.  

As the waters rose and homes and community infrastructure was destroyed, our local SES volunteers were on the front line, helping to rescue those who were stranded and delivering vital help in the recovery.

Inspired by the efforts of our local Daisy Hill based SES, I joined with the Springwood Youth Advisory Committee and the Lions Club of Rochedale / Springwood to fundraise together to get our local SES depot some new equipment including:

• Fans
• Batteries
• Charging Packs
• Heat Gun

It’s been a privilege to be part of this effort and a community that values and supports our SES volunteers. These brave men and women put their own safety on the line to help us when we needed it most.

To all of our SES volunteers: thank you. Thank you for your courage, your dedication, and your unwavering commitment to our community.
