Our Maryborough SES volunteers dedicate their time and energy to assisting our community when it’s needed most. Unfortunately, last night, an unknown male broke into our Maryborough headquarters and stole a vital piece of equipment: a Honda 20i generator.

We rely on this gear to help keep the Fraser Coast safe during emergencies. We are asking our local community to please keep an eye out for anyone attempting to sell this specific generator, either locally or online.

For your safety, please DO NOT approach the individual.
If you have any information or see this item for sale, please contact Policelink on 131 444 or report it anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Today, 20th May, we proudly recognise and celebrate the incredible volunteers of the State Emergency Service across Australia.

From storms and floods to rescues and community support, SES volunteers are always there when communities need them most — protecting life and property, often in the toughest conditions.
