Hello Moe Unit Controller here.

Recently the Moe Unit had our Road Rescue Capability Assessment, for that we had been doing a bit of training in preparation for it, training with various different types of vehicles and strategies. The team did an amazing job, really proving that the training had paid off. They showed great expertise, precision and care throughout the assessment. I am extremely proud of the Moe Unit

Have you got some spare time on your hands? Come down to the Moe Unit on a Tuesday night from 7pm to see what we do in our training, at 265 Monash Rd Newbourgh. Our training varies each week, ranging from Road Crash Rescue, Tree Operations, Flood and Storm Operations, Incident Management, Safe Work at Heights and a whole lot more!!!

Come down, say hello and see what were all about 😊
