Our Marine Rescue Alpine lakes unit received a visit yesterday from Deputy Commissioner Alex Barrell and Deputy Commissioner Todd Andrews accompanied by Zone Commander South Mike Hammond.
The trio dropped by the unit to chat to recently installed Unit Commander Cain Hopwood and his deputy David Farmer.
The visit provided an opportunity to better understand the unique operational conditions on the alpine lakes and the needs of the unit and its members, as well as to inspect the unit’s base and two rescue vessels.
After the visit, a dinner was held with unit members which allowed for further discussion.
