Our latest full-time employee Mandy Paradise has now taken over training for the career and volunteer sides, which has proven to be a big hit all round, with a new direction and renewed sense of enthusiasm.

These pictures were taken at two of our recent training nights:

The first scenario was at the Fire Station and involved an intoxicated male patient falling off a ladder while using a chainsaw.

The second scenario was a child who had been bitten by a snake with his father coming to his assistance. When he tries to catch the snake he is bitten also and becomes the second patient.

On both occasions the volunteers did a great job in assessing the scene and treating their patients after ascertaining the injuries and placing them in order of priority.
