NDRC 2013 Stand 3 "Plane Crash Rescue" TASES SES Tasmania Australia

Описание: NDRC 2013 Stand 3 "Plane Crash Rescue" TASES SES Tasmania Australia.

In this scenario rescue teams responded to a reported plane crash in a heavily wooded area. Teams were required to search the area looking for the plane and any survivors. A short way into the search, the plane was spotted nose-down into the ground with the pilot partially ejected through the front windscreen and another casualty sitting beneath a tree nearby.
Teams were required to triage the casualties, provide first aid and transport them out of the wooded area to an awaiting ambulance. Teams were also required to search the area looking for and preserving any evidence that could assist police with their investigations into the incident.


The competition.

State and Territory Emergency Service Volunteers from across Australia attended the National Disaster Rescue Competition hosted by Victoria State Emergency Service and held at the Country Fire Authority (CFA) training facility, Fiskville North of Melbourne Victoria.

The competition was run over two days where each competing team underwent 7 rescue scenarios. The scenarios realistically depicted a range of emergencies that rescuers would be called upon in the event of an earthquake.. The scenarios were supported by volunteer members of St John Ambulance who used their medical skills to realistically act out the pains and complications of the injuries relative to each stand, screams and all.

Whilst the range of stands were diverse in comparison, each presented a complex situation requiring Team Leaders to prioritise and task their team systematically throughout the rescue.

All teams displayed an exemplary sense of urgency and direct effective control of the situation they were presented with. Casualty care was beyond reproach.

In these events there is only one winner... that's just how competitions work, but really, everyone who attended and took part, were winners.
