🚨 Thank You, Knox City Council! 🚨

A huge thank you to Knox City Council for supporting VICSES Knox Unit through its Community Grants program.

Thanks to this funding, we've been able to purchase a new Collar Tank for water diversion and pumping exercises, water barriers to create more realistic road rescue training scenarios, and a rescue mannequin to enhance our patient search & rescue, and extrication training.

These training props will help our volunteers develop and maintain the practical skills needed to safely and effectively respond to the real emergencies our community faces. The more realistic our training, the better prepared we are when people need us most.

On behalf of all our members, thank you to Knox City Council for investing in the capability of your local SES volunteers and helping us continue to protect and support our community.

This state-of-the-art vehicle will play a vital role in supporting our volunteers and community, being deployed to both road rescue and storm-related incidents. From complex extrications to responding during severe weather events, this truck significantly enhances our ability to keep the community safe.

A huge step forward for our unit and the service we provide 🧡
