Fallen trees, flash flooding and damaged roofs have meant Strathfield’s valiant SES volunteers were “swamped with calls” this week.
But despite the state receiving a month’s rain in 48 hours, our local SES heroes rose to the task.
“Our teams have been hard at work on Tuesday and Wednesday assisting households”, Strathfield SES Local Controller Darrin Parkin said.
They received eight calls for help at 7:00pm on Wednesday alone, according to a statement.
