24.01.2022 Congratulations to John Hooper who today has been awarded the Emergency Services Medal (ESM). John is a massive part of our unit keeping a lot of things running... in the background when he is not responding to calls. Congratulations again from all of us and from the wider Stawell and Victorian community thank you. You can read Johns citation below: Mr Hooper has over 40 years experience in emergency management. He commenced as a volunteer with the Stawell Unit at the Victoria State Emergency Service in 1978. He quickly rose to be the Deputy Controller and trainer, specialising in road crash rescue, and search and rescue. He became qualified in Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) CAT 2 after an extensive training course with the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, and has used those skills during disasters in Australia and overseas to help communities in their time of need. He undertook searches for people following the 2009 Victorian bushfires, the Grampians National Park landslides in 2011, and the 2018 fires in Greece where he was the only volunteer in a 12 member team from Australia. In his own time, he has travelled the world to bring the latest rescue techniques back to Victoria to improve the survivability of people needing rescue. Mr Hooper is an exceptional example of distinguished service to the Victoria State Emergency Service. ABC Wimmera Stawell Times-News

We understand this caused inconvenience and frustration and thank the residents for their cooperation and patience.
