Action from this week’s BLAST (Beach Lifesaving and Skills Training) session at Dee Why 🌊

With conditions ruling out boards again, the focus shifted to spinal management, working on how to safely manage and retrieve injured patients from the water using a spinal board.

First Aid Friday – use of oxygen during emergencies
Familiarize yourself with recommendations for oxygen therapy this week. Watch the advanced resuscitation certificate holder on your patrol perform the resuscitation equipment checks. This will greatly increase your confidence if you are required to assist in a medical emergency. See attached file.

Our mighty 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝟑, 𝟓, 𝟏𝟒 & 𝟏𝟔 finished up their patrol Seasons last weekend 🏖️

Starting from the first weekend in September - they collectively put in thousands of hours on Dee Why beach covering everything from lost kids, bluebottles and large-scale rescues.

Some in their first year patrolling, one in his 50th year patrolling. Mums, dads, grandparents, nieces, nephews, cousins, neighbours and friends 👏🥳

The milkshakes, ice-creams & coffees were well deserved 🍦🧋🍵😅

𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦, rest up, and we look forward to welcoming you back next season.

First Aid Friday- Treatment for burns
A burn is an injury caused by heat (thermal), cold, radiation, radioactivity, electricity, friction or chemicals. Treatment is slightly different depending on the mechanism of injury. Sunburn is a type of radiation burn. This week’s reminder provides information on the treatment of thermal burns. Cold running tap water applied on the burned tissue for 20 minutes within an hour of the injury is best practice although it can have effect if applied within 3 hours. Hydrogels are OK but are not as good at stopping the burn and minimising tissue loss.
