Mogale emegency services visit Dr Yusuf Dadoo Primary School
Learners got a chance to peek into the lives of their everyday heroes.
Mogale Response Services pulled out all stops to educate the learners of Dr Yusuf Dadoo Primary School about law enforcement, emergency services and safety.
Learners at the school screamed at the top of their lungs when they heard the sirens coming from the emergency vehicles. The entrance the response team made brought joy to their faces. Receiving these warm welcomes were the Gauteng Traffic Department, firefighters, emergency medical service personnel, the Krugersdorp Police and the Intelli Drive team.
The aim of the day was to educate the learners about road safety and show them what each department does when responding to an emergency call.
Marga Scheepers from ER24 facilitated the demonstration where they showed the learners how the team members carry a victim into the ambulance. The demonstration allowed everyone a peek into the life of the medical response team and what they do when responding to an emergency call.
Among others, safety tips on how to ride a bicycle were shared with the learners. Jenny Blignaut from Netcare 911, said it is imperative to wear a helmet to protect oneself against injuries.
Sharday van den Berg from Mogale Response Services said they were doing safety drills at Mogale City schools.
The event ended with learners getting a chance to touch the horses of the Police Mounted Unit, and meeting the emergency response service team members.
