SES Emerald Unit has responded to several Road Rescues in Avonsleigh, Avon road and Macclesfield Road have been attended within the last 12 months. Please share a story of when the Emerald SES assisted you.

25.01.2022 Last night the Emerald SES unit were asked by our mates at Ambulance Victoria for some assistance to move a causality down a track in the Dandenong Ranges National Park. We asked our friends from SES Knox Unit for some assistance. Together as a team we moved the causality to the waiting ambulance at the bottom of the track. #WeWorkAsOne

25.01.2022 With another 40 jobs done again today we cleared this tree from a home in Narre Warren. With many members pushing through after an extreme weather event we will be looking forward to a rest hopefully in the next few days. Thanks to all the volunteers who turned out today.

25.01.2022 Update at 18:15 road will be closed for some time. We are responding to reports of a vehicle accident between Cockatoo and Upper Pakenham please avoid the area.

24.01.2022 Our crews have been flat out clearing trees from roads and driveways from last night. Thanks to our dedicated members for responding today.

24.01.2022 Great work by the Emerald crew to rescue a dog that had crawled into a dam wall hole. The dog was finally dug out by the hard working crew and reunited with his owner. Our crew got home from the 4hr rescue at 1am. Amazing work team. 100% Volunteers.

23.01.2022 Today we are responding to a landslide on Mountain HWY . Only one lane open at Sassafras. Thanks for our crews responding. #100%Volunteers.

23.01.2022 We have had one Fatality this week on our roads that our Volunteers responded to and thats one too many. Please please take care on the roads. Drive to the conditions.

22.01.2022 A good news story. Last night after reading a Facebook post 2 Emerald Members started to Look for a missing person after Calling Belgrave Police for further information. Another Emerald member was following the search on Facbook and a member of the public had posted a possible sighting and the Emerald SES member moved to that area. After approximately an hour and our second trip down that road our Vehicle moved over on a narrow road to let a car go past and our Member at... the time looked out of his window up the embankment and spotted Stephen. Our Members reassuring Stephen everything is ok and thet we are here to help. The car coming in the other direction has his family and his daughter in it. Called 000 for ambulance and a great outcome. A great outcome given todays Hot Weather.

22.01.2022 Our thoughts are with our colleagues at Emerald CFA today. RIP Doc.

21.01.2022 Out and about again early this morning.

21.01.2022 Yes we are into Day 3 and doing our Best to get out to you. Please dont hesitate to call us again on 132 500. We have 4 other Units and Vehicles out assisting us today. #weworkasone

20.01.2022 We are about be hit with heavy rain. Remember drive to the conditions and be aware of falling trees. NEVER drive through flooded roads!

19.01.2022 It is with great sadness that the Toolangi Fire Brigade today lost their eldest member of the brigade, Robert (Bob) Pockett. Bob was in his 99th year of life, which is a pretty extraordinary effort; and for those that knew Bob, his intellect was active until the very end. Bob first joined CFA as a volunteer with Healesville brigade on 25 March 1942. His legacy will live on through those that knew him, the strawberry runner scheme, through the incredible contribution to the f...ire brigade and the many books he wrote on the history of the local areas, organisations and features. Our sincere condolences go out to Bobs family and friends, and those that knew him through his distinguished career. Losing a member of the brigade, is like losing a family member; and losing a founding member is truly closing of a chapter of the brigades history. #WeWorkAsOne
