Eden SES hits the streets looking for new recruits

Nor the huge high-clearance flood rescue vehicle cruising the town.

Along with colleagues from nearby units and regional headquarters, Eden's SES was out in a concerted effort to attract new recruits.

"The community here has been so supportive [of the SES]. And a lot of the businesses have shown plenty of support too," Deb Muddiman from SES South Eastern zone headquarters said.

"This is about getting the conversation started."
