WA Department of Fire & Emergency Services
WOW Day 2023
More than 2,000 SES volunteers from every walk of life play a vital role in keeping communities across WA safe during natural disasters and emergencies.
These highly skilled men and women drop everything to help when people need them the most. From conducting emergency repairs to buildings damaged by cyclones, storms and floods, to ferrying cargo and passengers across floodwaters, the SES provides a vital service for the people of Western Australia.
They assist WA Police during land searches, undertake aerial and cave rescues, attend road crashes and assist fire crews during the long, hot bushfire season.
Wear orange on WOW Day and show your support by uploading your images to social media using the hashtag #thankyouSES
