For those who don't know, Gowganda is 88 Km. (55mi.) from the nearest hospital which is in Englehart. Our town has a great first aid team that go through their training updates every year. They also have some of the best equipment available. When you are in trouble it is these people who are the first on the scene whether it be a coronary problem or an accident.
Again this week there was an emergency that had to be handled, the first aid team and usually volunteer firemen are there as quick as possible to administer first aid and gather lifesaving data for the arrival of the ambulance.
Backing up all this is the provincial ambulance sevices which can come by land or air with the air ambulance. Highly trained paramedics that can turn a poor situation into a good one by getting the person involved to a hospital in the shortest possible time.
To all who look after so many a great thank you.
