Over the past week, St John SA have been proud to support the emergency response to the Deep Creek bushfire, working alongside SA Ambulance Service and SA Country Fire Service as part of South Australia’s State Emergency Management Plan (SEMP) arrangements.
Pictured here is our team members Essie, Jordan, Indya and Ben who have been part of the team supporting the frontline teams at the Staging Area in Yankalilla.
For years, our services are scoped well have gone far beyond traditional 'First Aid', and our focus is on keeping firefighters and frontline personnel healthy, safe, operational, and ready to do the vital work our communities rely on them for.
By providing on-the-ground medical support to firefighters and support teams, we help minimise the impact on regional health services—so local ambulances and hospitals can continue serving the community.
Support has included responder health checks, medical care, hydration and fatigue management, and practical health advice aimed at reducing the risks of heat stress, dehydration, and exhaustion during prolonged operations.
We are proud to play a vital role in supporting those protecting our community, and remain committed to assisting where and when it is needed.
Thank you to all emergency services personnel involved, particularly SA Country Fire Service and SA Ambulance Service, for your professionalism, dedication, and care for the community.
