FLASHBACK: Murgon Advanced Care Paramedic Steve Hatton and Intensive Care Paramedic John Cross with Arvind, Syon, Amanda and Diya Grace Ponnapalli .. Steve and John assisted with Diya Grace’s birth in 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 11, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Were any of your family members living in the Murgon district 80 years ago?<\/p>\n

If they were, their names may be on the \u201cList of Donors and Donations\u201d in the 1936 Annual Report of the Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade \u2013 Murgon Centre.<\/p>\n

The report will be part of a small historical display at an Ambulance Week Open Day that will be held at the Murgon Ambulance Station this Saturday (September 16) between 9:00am and 11:30am.<\/p>\n

This year marks the 125th Anniversary of ambulance services in Queensland.<\/p>\n

“It seems fitting that we remember when the local ambulance service was fully funded by donations from local residents,” Murgon Local Ambulance Committee secretary Kerry Baldwin said.<\/p>\n

“Visitors can browse through an extensive list of donors\u2019 names and maybe even make a donation themselves, in line with those made by family members 80 years ago.<\/p>\n

“Contributions then were often ten shillings ($1) or one guinea ($2.10).”<\/p>\n

By way of contrast, paramedics will display the latest ambulance and emergency equipment used at Murgon Ambulance Station today.<\/p>\n

They’ll also be giving instruction on CPR and show how anyone can learn to use a life-saving defibrillator.<\/p>\n

They’ll also be introducing to a new community first-aid skills program for all ages called \u201cSnakes Alive!\u201d<\/p>\n

A sausage sizzle and drinks will also be available, and there’ll be a free ambulance activity book for the first 20 children.<\/p>\n

Nanango Ambulance Station will also be holding an Open Day on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will run between 10:00am and 2:00pm.<\/p>\n

It will be offering similar displays of the latest ambulance equipment, along with $1 sausage sizzles or cool drinks.<\/p>\n
