Topical 23/5/24

The following was submitted to Topical by a community member who wanted to send a big thumbs up to those considerate and committed Narrabri Shire citizens who give their valuable time to provide the wide range of rescue services if required without remuneration. Incidents can occur at any moment and of any nature and the VRA squad members sacrifice time and effort which could be well spent doing other things like family, work or sport to be prepared and is therefore much appreciated. They also demonstrate their commitment to the community by participating in community events such as Anzac Day, the Christmas carnival and show among many others. We as a community, need to show support and encourage this service provided to us for it is comforting to know that the squad is ready to help should we need them. The squad could be encouraged by making a visit to the base station on Thursday evenings to see the huge range of equipment they have and see them training in a variety of simulated incidents. Thank you to the employers who support the squad with the service they give.
