During the hugely successful Mossel Bay multi-station exercise, the local crew had the chance to work with Knysna’s floating stretcher. It was love at first sight. The need for a similar stretcher was obvious and the Mossel Bay crew decided to raise the R13 500 in order to buy one for their station.At the NSRI station commanders conference held in Mossel Bay this weekend, veteran crewman Louis Harris of the Mossel Bay Point Hotel and Dror Zur of Stars Sports Pub and Restaurant handed over a cheque that made this wish come true.Thank-you gentlemen. The stretcher will be put to good use.
