Mr Edward Robert LINDNER ESM, Somerville VIC 3912
Mr Edward Lindner is actively involved with Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) Mornington and Hastings. During his 20 years of volunteer service, he has progressed through the ranks and is an active and competent marine rescue coxswain, taking boats to sea on many hazardous rescues, both in daylight and at night.
He has been heavily involved in search and rescue activities where he has taken the role of on-scene coordinator on several occasions in multi-agency responses resulting in many successful outcomes. Based on the numerous rescues, his leadership, skills and experience have undoubtedly saved several lives from the water ways and, at times, in hazardous conditions. Notable rescues include three males who were capsized off Corinella, along with a complex, ten hour rescue of a family off the coast of Wilson's Promontory.
As VMR's current training officer and maintenance leader he is responsible for coordinating the control, deployment, care, and maintenance of the VMR's two rescue vessels, as well as managing a state-owned vessel. As a valued committee member of VMR, he plays a vital role in the management of the group, and has built and maintained strong working relationships with a variety of stakeholders across the emergency services sector, marine industry, and the community of Mornington Peninsula and surrounds.
He has made a significant wider contribution to the sector, by assisting other independent volunteer marine rescue groups in Victoria, advising their leaders with technical or communication advice, and providing valued input and advice with Emergency Management Victoria Marine Search and Rescue team.
Mr Lindner's dedication to Marine Rescue Victoria, and to the boating public, makes him a highly valued member of Victorian emergency services.
