Castlemaine’s SES unit recently ran a Crew Member 2 training program for both local and regional members.
The Scotts Avenue facility hosted seven members from Castlemaine, Gisborne, Marong and Heathcote – with assistance from two regional trainers and six additional Castlemaine unit members – where they worked together as a team to complete activities such as constructing water diversions, and using manual jacks and cribbing to extract a casualty from beneath a heavy load.
By successfully completing this course, these members are now able to enrol in further courses, like chainsaw and polesaw training, and road crash rescue skills.
The Castlemaine SES unit will be hosting additional certification programs in the coming months. To find out more keep an eye on the SES Castlemaine Unit Facebook page.
