Cosmo City Fire Station receives essential equipment
MMC of Public Safety David Tembe puts an emergency plan into action for the Cosmo City Fire Station.
Until Johannesburg Emergency Medical Services (EMS) intervened, Cosmo City Fire Station had a lack of medical equipment for their paramedics and firefighters to attend to victims.
Robert Mulaudzi of EMS said, “We provided all the emergency equipment because we know that the residents are struggling with the provincial response and as for the ground force [paramedics and firefighters] we know the struggle the station and residents face, hence we implemented an action plan.”
The station received emergency equipment such as Burnshield products to treat the burns of fire victims, an oxygen mask, a box of latex gloves, an oxygen bank full of personal protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus to assist patients.
Regarding the provision of fire engines to Cosmo City Fire Station, he said the plan was to deliver fire engines by 2023.
Cosmo City Fire Station Manager Jonny Mokono said, “Cosmo City Fire Station is grateful to the MMC [of Public Safety David Tembe for the equipment], making sure that the safety of our patients comes first by providing all the necessary basic emergency equipment for our paramedics and firefighters to work with when attending to patients.
“We are looking forward to working with the MMC and his team to serve our community.”
