Volunteers from Marine Rescue Broken Bay have assisted two separate medical missions this morning.
Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Courtney Greenslade said rescue vessel Broken Bay 30 was tasked with transporting emergency services personnel to a medical emergency on Scotland Island just before 8:30am.
“A volunteer crew was quickly assembled and Broken Bay 30 activated.
“BB 30 transported emergency services personnel to the island, which is only accessible by boat.
“As the emergency services personnel were disembarking the Marine Rescue NSW vessel, we received another medical assist request.
“Broken Bay 30 was immediately deployed to Palm Beach Wharf to collect NSW Ambulance paramedics and transport them to Great Mackerel Beach to attend to a person.
“The volunteer crew on board Broken Bay 30 then transported the paramedics and patient back to Palm Beach Wharf,” Inspector Greenslade said.
Volunteer radio operators at Marine Rescue Sydney managed communications for this morning’s medical assists.
Marine Rescue NSW is a volunteer based not-for-profit professional organisation dedicated to keeping boaters safe on the water and supporting local communities.
