25.01.2022 Can you feel that summer is right around the corner? We’ve got some hot weather on the way in South Australia, so let’s take action to prepare and be safe: - Se...rvice your air conditioner by cleaning or replacing its air filters according to the manufacturer’s instructions, so it’s working before you need it. - Prepare a cool room in your house using air conditioning, fans, curtains and blinds. - Plan your days to avoid going out during the hottest part of the day. - Know if members of your family, friends or neighbours are at particular risk in the heat and make a plan to check on them regularly. And, when it is hot, remember to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and take steps to keep cool, such as wearing loose light-coloured clothing and using cool packs. Don’t forget your petsmake sure they have plenty of water as well! For more tips on how to be prepared for hot weather, visit our website. https://www.ses.sa.gov.au/heatwave/

23.01.2022 The Clare State Emergency Service had an interesting training scenario last Thursday night and volunteers found them in a very prickly situation. The scenario: The South Australian Ambulance Service requested that the Clare SES assist with an extrication of a casualty who was injured in a tight space in the back yard of a residential property. Upon arrival at the scene our volunteers found the casualty injured and lying in a small garden enclosure full of very spiky cacti at ...the back of the property. After some very careful removal of the spiky hazards, our volunteers successfully extracted the casualty safely from the space and stretchered them to safety. Needle-ss to say it was a challenging rescue. Well done to all those involved. Thank you to Jim & Paula for allowing our unit to train on their property. See more
