There will be three emergency flood boats based in the South Burnett following the North Coast SES Awards ceremony held in Kilkivan on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The keys to a new boat were presented to representatives from the Nanango SES at the event by QFES Commissioner Greg Leach, Assistant Commissioner Gary McCormack and SES Regional Director Angela Everist.<\/p>\n

The 5.9m Swift flood boat also came equipped with a trailer and a 115hp outboard motor.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Local Controller Scott Barry said there would now be flood boats situated in Nanango, Proston and Murgon.<\/p>\n

The awards ceremony were held in Kilkivan Public Hall at the start of SES Week.<\/p>\n

A highlight was the presentation to the South Burnett Group of the award for “Operational Response Of The Year” for the search for missing man Luke Fergusson at Kinleymore in June.<\/p>\n

The award cited the volunteers’ selfless commitment and collaboration in support of the South Burnett community during the protracted land search operation.<\/p>\n

Mr Barry said the award recognised the six South Burnett SES groups – Nanango, Kingaroy, Blackbutt, Wondai, Murgon and Proston – which were involved in the search.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SES Week runs from September 9-17 and highlights the many SES volunteers who dedicate thousands of hours each year to help keep Queensland safe.<\/p>\n

Commissioner Leach said he was extremely proud of the generosity and dedication of SES volunteers.<\/p>\n

“(They) spent more than 92,000 hours responding to incidents in the last year, plus more than 330,000 hours of training and preparation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolunteers continue to do an exceptional job in helping Queensland prepare and respond to disasters and emergencies, which is why it\u2019s so important we continue to support them.”<\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council CEO Mark Pitt represented the SBRC at the awards ceremony.<\/p>\n
