We’d like to pass on a huge thanks to Jonny and the team at Vital Resus Australia for servicing and keeping our medical oxygen and defibrillator equipment up to scratch.
This equipment is vital in our continuing service to the community, and although it’s rarely used, it always needs to be ready to go if needed.

Jeez it’s been a busy day for all of you. Just hopefully this incident has a better outcome over the first two to happen today.
thoughts to all first responders thankyou for what you all do to save lives and help those who have passed away ..
About a month ago, we posted a story about our very good friend and colleague Stephen Grant, who has been battling stage 4 glioblastoma since October 2018.
It is with great sadness we announce that Steve passed away early Saturday morning.
Steve joined the Central Coast Rescue Squad in 2012, and was one of the most active members in squad. Responding at a moments notice to call outs, manning rescue trucks, attending fundraising events, and putting in many, many hours training and helping maintain the rescue vehicles and equipment.
In September 2020 at our monthly business meeting, Steve was given Life Member status of the Central Coast Rescue Squad.
We would like to send our deep heartfelt condolences to Steve’s friends and family, and especially to Steve’s partner Dale.
We would also like to pass on our thanks to the Mark Hughes Foundation, Carrie's Beanies 4 Brain Cancer Foundation for their support, and to the Melbourne Storm for their support and post on Twitter.
The “Rescue 50” callsign will never be the same without Steve.
Rest In Peace

OURIMBAH STATE FORREST
A mountain bike rider has been airlifted to hospital after crashing in the Ourimbah state Forrest earlier today.
Rescue crews were tasked to assist NSW Ambulance paramedics to extricate the patient from the bush, suffering chest injuries.
The patient was extricated and then airlifted by the Toll Ambulance Rescue helicopter in a serious but stable condition.

Just before 10:30pm last night, the squad was tasked to remove a snake from a property at Ourimbah. Arriving on scene they found a small Golden-crowned snake curled up at the bottom of a stair well inside the house.
Crews quickly apprehended the intruder, and then released it back into the bush away from suburban areas.
It is a timely reminder the keep a careful eye out for snakes as we come into the warmer season as they become more active during this time.

Doesn’t look very golden to me.
Hang your head in shame whoever it was that rang the rescue squad for this, what a waste of volunteers time

Thats a nope rope!

Just before 5am this morning, rescue crews were tasked to assist NSW Ambulance with the extrication of an unconscious patient suffering a medical condition.
Rescue crews loaded the patient into a stokes litter and conducted a controlled slide down a set of stairs to extricate the patient from the second storey floor to the awaiting ambulance.
They were then transported to hospital in a stable condition.
