David Ferguson speaks to The Standard about rescue at Levy's Beach

Transcript

00:00Here we are at Levy's Point with Dave Ferguson, FRV spokesman.

00:03How are you going Dave, what's happening here?

00:05Yeah good thank you Sandra, it appears that a male has been out in the sand dunes with some dogs.

00:10He's taken a tumble down a sand dune and injured himself.

00:15He's been able to ring through to 000 to get assistance and we're in the process now of

00:19sorting out some people and equipment to go across the dunes and to provide that assistance to him.

00:25I understand that Hems IV is on the way, looks like he

00:28suffered significant injuries and going to be taken to Melbourne.

00:32Yeah I think so, I understand the injuries might be around broken

00:35legs potentially, so that obviously immobilises him. So sometimes in these situations,

00:39given the nature of the dunes, it is easier to winch him out and then

00:42Ambulance Service will determine which way the treatment goes,

00:46where he might go to Melbourne or locally.

00:48Excellent, thanks for your help Dave.

00:49You're right.
