Winds make work for SES

27/11/2008

THE Narre Warren State Emergency Service (SES) responded to 12 jobs during last weekend’s windy and rainy weather. But a spokesman for the SES said the Narre Warren unit was “fairly quiet” compared with other areas such as Gippsland.
He said most of the calls for help were on Saturday and the majority of the jobs included traffic hazards and trees down.
