25.01.2022 Call Out - Murray River Rescue. Remember to tell someone where you are going and make sure you wear a life jacket.

25.01.2022 Another Rescue underway on the Murray River. Thankfully all precautions were followed, they had their phone and life jackets on. Unfortunately the Murray was just too much for them and their canoes.

25.01.2022 There were reports of Emergency Vehicles and a Helicopter around Lake Hume yesterday afternoon. We can confirm there was a boat and passengers in distress however all were located safe and well by another boater on the Lake. Emergency services initially struggled to locate them as they had no idea where they were, unsure as to where they had launched their boat. We encourage everyone to down load the Emergency Plus App on their phones and use the what3words feature to assist us to find you when you need us. #vrarescue #emergencyplus

23.01.2022 Call Out - Collision at the intersection of Kiewa and Hume St, don't think we even warmed the truck up, very close to our Squad HQ. Thankfully no one trapped on our arrival. Assisted Murray River Police District and Fire and Rescue NSW Station 209 Albury Civic with traffic diversions.

21.01.2022 We have all been effected by the closure of the border in our region, however we want to take a minute to thank the NSW Police Force and ADF personnel that have done a magnificent job! This is a once in a lifetime experience and will be a great story to tell generations to come. #vrarescue #NSWPolice #BorderClosure

Please be safe on the roads, there are more cars moving around and everyone is in a rush. Take a minute and arrive safely home to family and friends.

08.01.2022 We 'roped' in our members to do some low angle rescue training. These techniques help move patients and rescuers up an embankment or ramp with the assistance of ropes and pulleys.
