Celebrating our SES volunteers
The outstanding dedication of Emergency Service (SES) volunteers in the Inner West was recognised at the annual SES Volunteer Recognition Night.
The SES Volunteer Recognition Night is an opportunity for the Marrickville and Ashfield-Leichhardt SES Units to celebrate their volunteers for their ongoing efforts and commitment to the emergency services. Those present at the ceremony represented a total of 185 trained and active SES volunteers.
The Awards also celebrated Kevin Bartlett’s retirement and 43 years of long service commitment to the SES.
A huge thank you and congratulations to all the hard-working volunteers who received this well-deserved recognition for their dedication and service to our community.
