RAPID RESPONSE PUBLIC SERVICE VEHICLE
LAUNCHED FOR EASTER FESTIVE SEASON
In response to the need to provide the greater public
with rapid emergency care over the Easter holiday period
, Dynamic Emergency Medical services has just introduced
a rapid response 4 wheel drive emergency vehicle to
serve Holiday makers and the public over the Easter
Holiday season and beyond.
The vehicle will be dispatched without any costs as
a service to the public to serious reported incidents
such as motor vehicle and other accidents, drownings
and urgent medical cases.
Adrian Trollip director of Dynamic EMS said the vehicle
launch came at a time when government services were
under increasing pressure and have at times been battling
to meet their commitments.
The vehicle, the first of its kind in Buffalo City
is the fastest emergency response vehicle ever used
locally and will be crewed by advanced life support
paramedics or Trauma doctors. It is equipped to handle
all sorts of emergency medical situations including
rescues.
The vehicle is also unique in that it is the only high
speed response car in East London that has 4 wheel drive
capability, which enables it to get to locations that
are not normally accessible to standard emergency vehicles.
Trollip said that the vehicle was launched in a bid
to reduce the number of fatalities that often unnecessarily
surround the Easter weekend and associated holiday period,
especially relating to car accidents. “In a real
emergency lives can be saved by getting appropriate
assistance to an accident scene as fast as possible.
This vehicle is designed to safely do just that”
said Trollip.
Dynamic Emergency Medical Services will be working
closely with other emergency services to ensure that
the public receives the best possible assistance in
crisis situations. If the public need any emergency medical
assistance the regional emergency call centre number
is 043- 726 2225 and this call centre operates 24hours .
