A big weekend at the ESA, with multiple events and courses taking place. Over 125 emergency service workers were on site on Saturday!

NSW SES Members and other agencies from around the country attend the Animal Emergency Incident Management Network (AEIMN) Conference alongside NSW Department of Primary Industries and Local Land Services NSW at the Acadrmy over the weekend.

Participants learned from the best animal rescue experts in the field. They demonstrated how to safely rescue large animals such as horses, cattle and even camels, including lifting a horse onto a rescue boat in flood water. 🐎🚣‍♀️

At the same time, 8 stations were competing high rise fire scenarios, with FRNSW, RFS and even RAAF firefighters participating in the multi agency drills. The next day the local zone hosted a relay pumping drill around the perimeter of the site.

We also completed the last 2 days of a Retained Oncall Program, congratulations to the newest members of the FRNSW family!

The countdown is on - Open Day 2023!!
This Saturday - 10am until 2 pm
Displays, food trucks, giveaways, demonstrations and more!

Here's last year's memories as a refresher!

Last week the Turkish community provided a "thank you" dinner at the Academy warehouse, in recognition of the USAR team that deployed to assist after the recent earthquake.

Our eternal thanks to those amazing food vendors who supported this important event, and to those in the community and FRNSW who arranged it.

We hardly knew that a warehouse could make such an awesome dinner venue!
