Albury & Border Rescue Squad - VRA Rescue NSW

Not every call-out involves lights and sirens.
Our volunteers recently enjoyed spending time with the children and educators at Goodstart Early Learning Thurgoona, showing them our rescue truck, talking about what we do, and answering plenty of great questions.
While we're proud of the work we do during emergencies, visits like this are some of the most rewarding parts of volunteering.
Connecting with our community and seeing the excitement on the kids' faces reminds us why we do what we do.
Thanks for having us, Goodstart Early Learning Thurgoona

Thanks to the team LJ Ellery Roofing for giving the front of the squad an upgrade. It has been many many years since the front of the squad looked this good.

Over the weekend we were proud to be formally handed our new rescue appliance. This truck will boost our capability and capacity to respond to incidents across the region.

We also took the opportunity to formally recognise one of our members Peter Adams, who has served the squad for 60 years. This is an amazing achievement and Pete continues to serve the squad.

Big thank you to VRA Rescue NSW Commissioner, Brenton Charlton and Jihad Dib MP for providing the funding for this vehicle.

We often work closely with Paramedics to ensure patient health at incidents. Today we recognise the hard working Doctors across the state and country including our very own Dr Joe!
