Tabbynera - The Angloswiss with the cats

Blog EntryPicture Perfect: SafeApr 24, '08 3:07 AM
for everyone
Bergen & Retten 22.02.2008

One of my spare time hobbies - well not really hobby - is being a volunteer for the local first aid association. If there is an emergency in the village, or areas near by, we are called out to help. The photo shows how to remove a crash helmet correctly after a motor bike accident. Well almost correctly, we were having one of our monthly practice sessions. As I  am responsible for our web site, I am always ready with the camera to take photos. We also have an annual practice with the fire fighters and have "obstacle" walks through the country where the colleagues organise "accidents" that we have to care for. Of course, during the year we meet for a b-b-que or at Christmas for our celebration with wine and food. I received an "invitation" this week to help with the football EURO2008 in Switzerland, but I am leaving that one to the professionals.

Hello again Pat! :)
This is both a great photo, and a worthy thing you're doing ~ kudos to you! I giggled at the 'leaving it to the professionals' line. One of these days that could be you!

This is all so very interesting! This is a great example of "Safe" - you're the one who helps keep other people safe. That walk through the woods and coming upon an assortment of accidents you have to tend to must be quite an exercise!
Thanks for the great photo!!! --Marcia

You are just an amazing person fool of many talents. It certainly is a good thing to know how to handle an emergency. In some instances, not know what to do can cause more harm than good.
