25.01.2022 This week members from the North Coast Region completed a Polaris ATV Side by Side Course, including Maroochydore SES members Tom Markwell and Col Hjortshoj. This increases our operational capabililty as the Polaris extends our reach beyond the range of 4WD vehicles. For example it can be used in landsearch operations for casualty rescue. Well done guys and congratulations to Dean Vink on now being an authorised trainer for this course.
