Local Ambulance Committee news
The new Officer in Charge at the Rainbow Beach Station, Bob Gray, is settling in, ably supported by Second Officer Marc Steadman. Marc has been doing an admirable job since his recent arrival here. The officers will receive back-up from Tin Can Bay and Gympie as required.
It is hoped that the new station on the corner of Carlo and Karoonda Roads will be operational early next year.
The Provide First Aid and CPR courses had 16 participants in each, taking the total number of locals trained to 170.
The committee would like to thank all those who gave up their time to attend, and providing our community with a pool of trained first aid people ready in the event of an emergency.

LAC thanks the Club for their generosity and will put the money towards buying specialised equipment for the ambulance officers.
