NSRI Assist at Hout Bay Fires

11 March 2017 by Alan

Lyall Pringle, NSRI Hout Bay station commander, said:

From the early hours of this morning, Saturday, 11th March, our NSRI Hout Bay crews assisted at the fire at the Imizamo Yethu informal settlement, Hout Bay.

Our sea rescue crews assisted with fire fighting, evacuation of residents and animals, delivering supplies, first aid treatment and our sea rescue 4×4 vehicle was used to assist to collect and transport patients from the upper reaches of the settlement bringing them to the patient triage area at the Hout Bay Fire Station and our NSRI medics assisted WC Government Health EMS, Cape Town Fire and Rescue Services and Hout Bay volunteer EMS paramedics to treat patients suffering from mostly burn wounds at the Fire Station prior to patients being transferred to hospitals by ambulance.

A massive community effort was deployed by members of the public.
