Unit controller Yvette Ringland said the new vehicle was a welcome addition to the fleet and will help the unit volunteers respond to calls for assistance from the public.
The Bega SES is currently improving its local capabilities with an active training program, and has recently moved into new headquarters on Newtown Rd in Bega.
Anyone who would like to do something to help their community might consider joining the dedicated band of volunteers at the unit.
The Bega SES unit trains at 6pm on Wednesdays at the Newtown Rd headquarters.
