A huge thank you to Benabilla Auctions for their generous donation in support of the Dubbo VRA Rescue NSW Heavy Rescue Project.

Community support like this plays a vital role in helping us equip our new Heavy Rescue Truck with the specialised rescue equipment needed to respond to serious road crashes, heavy vehicle incidents, industrial incidents, vertical rescues and large animal rescues across our region.

As a volunteer emergency service, we rely heavily on the generosity of local businesses and community organisations, and we are incredibly grateful for Benabilla Auctions’ contribution towards improving frontline rescue capabilities for the people of Dubbo and surrounding communities.

Thank you for standing behind our volunteers and helping us build a safer community for everyone.

If you would like to support the Heavy Rescue Project, please get in touch with our team.

Such an amazing reason for all of us to get together as one!

Different Uniforms. One Mission.

Today, emergency services from across the region came together for a special lights and sirens convoy to support a brave young child battling cancer.

An incredible show of community, strength, and support, reminding one family that they are never fighting alone.
