🚨 40 Means 40 🚨

When passing emergency vehicles displaying red and blue flashing lights, the speed limit is 40km.

Every time you fail to slow down, you're putting emergency workers at risk. We are there to help the community, please help us get home safely.

Slow down. Pay attention. 40km means 40km so we can all make it home safe to our families.

Road Crash Rescue

Two call outs for accidents with reported entrapment today for our members, with the first being at 6:55am and then again at 4:16pm. Fortunately in both situations rescue wasn't required and occupants were able to get out and were looked after by Ambulance, crews remained on scene to assist with the cleanup.

Please take care when out on the roads.

Animal Rescue

At 11:19 am Warrnambool volunteers were called to help rescue a dog in Allansford that had found himself in a ruff situation, crews and the owners spent 2 hours searching rabbit burrows fearing he had become stuck in one before finally locating him under a pile of old telephone poles after he dug his way in and became trapped.

Crews made use of our spreaders to lift the pole and gain access so our furry friend could be freed and reunited with his relieved owners, a pawsitive outcome.

Road Crash Rescue

Late night callout for our Volunteers. At 1:24am we were activated to an accident with reported entrapment at the Princes Hwy and Conns lane intersection. Arriving on scene along with Police, Ambulance and Fire it was discovered that a single vehicle had rolled onto its roof, fortunately the single occupant had managed to self extricate and was treated by Ambulance.

SES and CFA remained on scene to provide lighting so the car could be towed and a washaway could be completed.

Thanks to everyone that attended.
