It was impressive to see the amount of equipment and the skills of the SES personnel in handling the various items. The amount of equipment that each of the vehicles carried was astounding, yet the need for new and replacement items were ever present.

It would be hard not to support a request from them. It was suggested they come to one of our markets and demonstrate their work.
