05.01.2022 Our current building has deteriorated to the point where our volunteers have been forced out of our training room due to serious health and safety concerns. This is just the start of a long list of issues including access & egress, no hot water, no change room facilities, sub standard and dangerous electrics and no heating or cooling. After 8 years of working hard to upgrade the facility, we are now desperately seeking funding from the State Government for a new building at a shared site with the CFA on the Princes Highway. Plans are done, permits are done, the only missing link is the funding required to help secure the future of the Port Fairy SES unit and the vital service we provide to the community #portfairyses
03.01.2022 We would like to give a big shout out to the members of Port Fairy & SES Heywood Unit who after many hours of training passed their road crash rescue competency last weekend. It was a huge effort put in by the members to achieve this result which will boost the capacity of the units to respond! Congratulations! #portfairyses #heywoodses #training #congratulations
