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 .
