People and landmarks will be decked out in orange today as Wimmera organisations honour Victoria’s emergency service volunteers.
Wear Orange Wednesday, part of a broader National Volunteer Week celebration, asks Victorians to join in and ‘wear a splash of orange’ to show thanks to Victoria’s State Emergency Services, VICSES.
VICSES Mid West has highlighted the service of its technical rescue team.
Team volunteer Kieran Loughran, who has been involved with more than 50 ‘high angle rescues’ in the region, emphasised VICSES’ community importance, especially with several high-profile hiking and rock-climbing features nearby.
