Locals Helping Locals With SpinFX

The community in Hinchinbrook has been in urgent need of support as locals recover from the devastating impacts of the recent floods.
One of the major challenges residents have faced is the widespread power outages. SpinFX Electrical has been at the forefront of efforts to restore power to flood-affected homes, working tirelessly to get people back on their feet.
In addition to this, the company has been collaborating with wholesalers in Townsville to ensure that essential supplies are delivered, helping other electrical companies in the area continue their recovery efforts as well.
Alongside this, the company has also been supplying generators and has been subcontracted by a company in Townsville to get a telecom site up and running on Palm Island.
Owner, Jesse Spina, stated how the weather has been tough for recovery efforts:
“It has been challenging for our staff, because they've had their own personal affairs to attend to as well.
“Which in my opinion, comes way before work.”
Jesse explained how the community has been extremely supportive in their efforts to help restore power in the region:
“It's so heartwarming, especially in such a devastating time for our community.”
On a personal note, Jesse explained how hard the floods have been on the Ingham community:
“It's heartbreaking,” he shared.
“Up until recently, probably the last five years I've lived on a cane Farm in Macknade, so I've never actually been in Ingham during a flood and to see the destruction and what's happened here is just, it's, it's devastating.
“It's gonna take the community a long time to recover from this.”
Jesse stated that Spin Fix want to help the community as much as they can:
“We are locals, and we're supporting local, that's the main thing.
“We want to help as many people as we can.”
