Pauanui Lifeguards awarded the SLSBOP Fulton Hogan Rescue of the year
Pauanui Lifeguards have yet again been awarded for their rescue efforts in January by being awarded the Fulton Hogan Rescue of the year at the 2009 SLSBOP Volunteer Recognition & Awards Dinner. This rescue has previously resulted in Pauanui Surf Lifesaving club securing the SLSNZ rescue of the month and SLSBOP rescue of the month awards.. Congratulations and thanks to all the Lifeguards involved in the rescue resulting in the club wining these sought after awards.
These guards have been awarded for their mass rescue of five victims (aged 2yrs-54yrs) during a closed beach patrol, when the victims boat was upturned on the treacherous Pauanui bar.
This rescue was especially outstanding due to the cohesive and well resourced teamwork between the Regional Lifeguards, Volunteer lifeguards and Rookie lifeguard. The forward thinking and knowledge applied during the rescue, from the treatment of the patients to the preparation and exit of the rescue helicopter, was noted by all personnel involved. |
