Lucinda Coast Guard volunteers are shining a light on community generosity after receiving funding from the Herbert River RSL Sub-branch for five new searchlights across their two rescue vessels.
The new lights provide a viewing range of up to 400 metres and will play an important role during night-time search and rescue operations, particularly when searching for people lost overboard or from sinking vessels.
Equipped with remote-control capability, the lights can be adjusted up, down, left and right to improve visibility and coverage on the water.
Volunteers say the upgraded equipment will significantly strengthen their search capability and improve the chances of locating and safely rescuing people in the water after dark.
Lucinda Coast Guard extended its sincere thanks to the Herbert River RSL Sub-branch members for their generosity and continued support of local emergency services.
