The Burdekin Unit of the State Emergency Service (SES) has been engaged for 21 jobs since December 1, with one of the more significant callouts coming before New Year’s Eve.
During the two-day search for Elliot Spinaze, who worked at the Kalamia Hotel, the Hotel delivered food and drinks for lunch on Sunday, December 31 to keep the search workers and volunteers satiated.
“We’re very grateful, the Kalamia Hotel brought down some well-received food and refreshments for lunch on the Sunday,” said Burdekin SES Local Controller Warren Francis.
“We were very grateful for that.
“It was out of the blue, we weren’t expecting it, so the Kalamia was good to us.”
Mr Francis also thanked Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin for taking a personal interest in the welfare of the volunteers.
“We’re supported by Council, even to the point where the Mayor rang to check the welfare of the searchers during the search,” he said.
“She’s that committed to the SES that she rang and asked how everyone’s going because of the heat and humidity.”
The SES is on the lookout for new members and volunteers.
