Lowood SES Volunteers are now better equipped at saving lives after winning a defibrillator machine from a St Johns Victoria competition.
The machine, which was delivered to the station on Wednesday night, will become part of the crew’s important rescue equipment.
Whether it’s a call-out for a fallen tree or a deployment during floods, Lowood SES senior member Daniel Giddins, said it added strength to the volunteer unit.
The team had been fundraising for the expensive item, but thanks to Mr Giddins’ application, the funding can be put towards other lifesaving equipment.
“Luckily Lowood hasn’t been in a situation where we have required a defib, but we have been in situations where people come to the SES and ask for first aid help,” Mr Giddins said.
