It's a sad day at Salisbury today.
A staunch supporter and true friend to Salisbury SES was sadly taken from us yesterday.
We will all miss you greatly Aidan Allin
Our thoughts and sympathies go out to your family and friends during this very difficult time.
RIP Aidan, a great guy taken far too soon.

Is this you .......

I’D LOVE TO JOIN SES… BUT…
We hear it all the time.
🗣️ “I’m a parent.”
💼 “I work full-time.”
✈️ “I work away.”
🌙 “I work shifts.”
🌴 “I’m retired.”
😅 “Life is just really busy.”
And you know what?
So are our volunteers 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️
Our members have jobs, families, commitments, hobbies and busy lives outside of SES.
We don’t all have the same schedules.
We don’t all have the same availability.
And we definitely don’t all have endless free time.
That’s the point!
VOLUNTEERING DOESN’T HAVE TO MEAN PUTTING YOUR LIFE ON HOLD.
You give what you can. 🤲
You learn new skills. 🧠
You meet great people. 🤝
You become part of a team. 🧡
So if you’ve been thinking:
🤔 “I’D LOVE TO JOIN SES… BUT…”
Maybe your "BUT" isn’t a reason not to join.
🧡 THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU AT THE SALISBURY UNIT 🧡

It’s been a busy few days for the crew at Salisbury SES. From mid afternoon Sunday to Tuesday night we responded to 66 requests for assistance.

As a gesture of thanks for our efforts, our great mate John Fulbrook MP delivered these delicious white chocolate mud cakes for our crew to enjoy.

Thank you very much John, they were absolutely delicious 😋

Hi Friends,

Salisbury SES are participating in the Peoples First lottery again this year. We are currently raising funds to purchase a 40ft shipping container to put at our site at Salisbury Heights. This will provide us with additional storage as well as a structure for our crews to conduct roof safety training on.

If you are able to support us by buying a ticket ( or two ) in the lottery we would be eternally grateful. 100% of the proceeds from the ticket sales go to our unit and there are some really cool prizes to be won.

Thanks everyone :-)

Need help moo-ving? 🐮 In the early hours of Friday morning, SES crews from Salisbury State Emergency Service and Gawler State Emergency Service alonsgide Springton SA Country Fire Service were called by a property owner to rescue an 800kg steer, Mooch, who had been stuck in the mud for over four hours!

Thankfully Mooch was successfully unstuck from the mud hole, with SES crews using a harness to help lift the animal out.

To find out more about Large Animal Rescue, and the other capabilities our volunteers are trained in, visit ses.sa.gov.au/about-us/what-we-do/

Last night the Salisbury SES crew attended Wear Orange Wednesday celebrations at SASES HQ in Keswick.

WOW day is a day to celebrate the sacrifices and dedication that all SES volunteers across the country show to support their local communities.

At Salisbury though, we celebrate our members EVERY day. The dedication they show, the perseverance during the worst weather conditions and the time they sacrifice to support their community is outstanding. And while doing all this they have a smile on their face.

What an absolute bunch of legends.

Thank you Salisbury SES volunteers, you are amazing 🧡
