A group of seven participants from Mawarra recently visited the Warragul SES to gain an insight into emergency volunteering.

Three SES volunteers showed the group the different vehicles and what they are used for.
They also explained about the jaws of life, and let everyone have a turn operating the small jaws of life equipment.
The group also visited the operations room to see the computers and radio system, and then sat and looked at some photos of various incidents Warragul crew have attended.
The visit ended with a sit in the big truck, complete with sirens sounding.
When they returned to Mawarra, the group was so impressed with the work of the SES, that they decided to hold a barbecue fundraiser, which raised $140 for the local team.
