Honours for emergency volunteers

Jason Lawrence
LONG-SERVICE awards were presented to two members of the New Norfolk SES earlier this month. Unit manager Jason Lawrence received the 20 year pin and fellow member Clare Swinton received the 10 year medal.

Originally wanting to join the Rural Fire Brigade, Jason decided to attend one of their training nights nearly 21 years ago but found himself attending on the wrong night.  With State Emergency Service training being held nearby that night, Jason followed his desire to join an emergency service and signed up as a member then and there, volunteering under John Maher.

Jason became unit manager in 2006 and has received various awards including a commendation from Tasmania Police. Volunteering has its highs and lows but Jason is happy to continue responding to his pager whenever it goes off.
