■ Euroa MLA Annabelle Cleeland has spoken in State Parliament to praise local State Emergency Service volunteers. “I want to express my sincere appreciation for all the SES units across Euroa electorate, who continue to show incredible courage, composure and expertise even in the most challenging circumstances,” Ms Cleeland said. “In towns like Euroa, Seymour, Benalla, Heathcote, Murchison and Kilmore the local SES units have been at the forefront of all recovery efforts, from floods, storms and power outages to car accidents. “So often with accidents in small towns the first responders are neighbours, friends and loved ones, making this an incredibly tough role for these volunteers to have. “In January the Euroa SES diligently responded to more than 50 callouts in a single night after heavy storms wiped out power for much of the town. “For a town of just 3000 people this is an incredible demonstration of local volunteers stepping up to help their community. This week I met with John Koutras, the unit controller for SES Kilmore, and witnessed their rapid response to a code 1 rescue call, the most severe and often life-threatening situation. “Within 7 minutes Cheryl, Simon, Kerry and John sprang into action, leaving their day jobs without hesitation to aid someone in distress.”
