All events in which our squad were to participate in have either been cancelled or postponed. Our weekly training sessions & mont...hly meetings have also been postponed but with a make-shift roster for maintenance and equipment checks. We WILL however still be responding to any Rescue Related tasks and continuing our Important Service to our wonderful community during these uncertain times 24/7 ....
