Matchbox Models of Yesteryear Cessnock Rescue Squad 1937 GMC Van 1996 NEW
Description
The Cessnock District Rescue Squad was formed with the aim of supplying specialised equipment and trained personnel to co-operate and assist police, ambulance and Fire Brigade in Cessnock/Kurri Kurri and surrounding districts in the event of road, rail, aircraft, industrial, domestic and natural emergencies. Available 24 hours a day, they work at the scene of an emergency under the command of the senior officer present of whichever service is in charge. In its 30-year history, it has been called on for cliff rescue, cutting victims free from car wreck- age, providing floodlights at a fire and simple things like securing a roof after a severe storm.
In April 1992, the Cessnock Rescue Squad received a NSW Police Citation in recognition of assistance (totalling over 148 man-hours over a three day period) given to police in a Bellbird murder case.
