Thank a First Responder Day

Today is Thank a First Responder Day, held each year as a way of acknowledging the amazing work undertaken by our first responders right across Australia.

We have over 3,200 first responders in Marine Rescue NSW, with each and every one of them dedicated to saving lives on the water.

If you know a Marine Rescue NSW volunteer, or any other first responder, take a minute today to thank them – whether it’s in person, via text, or a phone call, they’ll appreciate your support for their life-saving work.
