First Responders
We are very fortunate to have a group of volunteers as First Responders in an emergency situation.
During a medical emergency, dial 911 and the EMS will dispatch an ambulance and our local First Responders. They are each trained and equipped with a specialized first-aid and oxygen unit. In addition, Saskatchewan Beach has a defibrillator for use in case of a cardiac arrest.
The Regina Training Centre of St. John Ambulance is urging people to sign up for training as First Responders. There is a desparate need for this. These are the people who will quickly respond to emergencies before the ambulance service can arrive which can be a significant amount of time.
If you are interested in becoming a First Responder, please contact Patty Coons at 729-4363.
