Can you remember when …

Nov 10, 2026

Can you remember a time when our local communities did not have a First Responder team ready and waiting to assist everyone in their time of need. From Boknes to Merryhill and all places in between, no matter who you are or what you’ve done our Medical First Responder team are waiting for your call 24/7.

Please take a moment to look at the professional operations incident report from October. You’ll notice the behind-the-scenes teamwork that goes into making life here so much safer.

  • Clinical & Medical Support: Strong ongoing collaboration with Dr EJ Galpin for local patient consults, laceration repair/suturing, and after-hours advice.
  • Multi-Agency Coordination: Gardmed, State/Metro EMS, Municipal Ambulance, Hi-Tec and SAPS provided effective multiagency support across high-acuity trauma and MVA scenes.
  • Consumable Stock Audit: High consumption of trauma bandages, sterile gauze, face masks, cold packs, and medical oxygen noted during October callouts. Kit replenishment is recommended prior to November.

Thank you Gardmed, Hi-Tec and SAPS for having our backs!
