The EST - Emergency Support Team recently had the privilege of participating in Mense Wat Omgee, a community-focused radio programme on Pretoria FM proudly sponsored by CrisisOnCall.

The discussion focused on injuries in the workplace, a topic that affects thousands of South Africans every year and one that remains highly relevant to employers, employees, first responders, and emergency medical personnel alike.

To add further value to the conversation, EST invited industry expert Stephan Heyneke from DDI to share his knowledge and experience. His insights helped provide listeners with a deeper understanding of workplace safety, risk management, injury prevention, and the importance of creating safer working environments.

As first responders, we often witness the real-life consequences of workplace incidents. While emergency response is important, prevention remains the most effective tool in protecting lives and reducing injuries. Through community education and meaningful conversations such as these, we can help create safer workplaces and better-informed communities.

We would like to thank Pretoria FM, CrisisOnCall, and Stephan Heyneke from DDI - Dynamic Development Institute for the opportunity to be part of this important discussion and for their ongoing commitment to community awareness and public education.

At EST, our mission extends beyond emergency response. We believe in educating, empowering, and supporting the communities we serve every day.

For the Community, By the Community.

Shortly before midnight, Emergency Support Team members who were completing an observation shift with the Advanced Life Support & Cardiac Unit driven proudly by Chery Centurion from Best Care Emergency Medical Service responded to an industrial workplace incident involving a male patient who sustained blunt force trauma.

According to information received on scene, a trailer carrying a heavy load reportedly gave way, resulting in the patient sustaining significant injuries. Responders rapidly assessed the patient and, together with the attending paramedic, initiated emergency treatment and stabilization measures before the patient was transported by ambulance to a private hospital for further care.

Ironically, this incident occurred only hours after discussions on workplace injuries and occupational safety during the Mense Wat Omgee programme on Pretoria FM, a community-focused radio show proudly sponsored by CrisisOnCall. It serves as a reminder that workplace incidents remain a very real risk and that proper safety procedures, equipment maintenance, and vigilance are essential in preventing serious injuries.

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to K2 Medical for the patient warming blanket, which made a significant difference in the management of this patient. With a real-feel temperature of approximately 9ยฐC on the industrial site, preventing hypothermia and maintaining patient warmth formed an important part of the patient's overall care.

We wish the patient a speedy recovery and thank all responding personnel for their professionalism and teamwork during this incident.

Trauma patients can become dangerously cold even in relatively mild weather conditions. Keeping an injured patient warm is an important part of emergency care and can significantly improve outcomes following serious injury.

Today, Emergency Support Team representative Lawrence Lee had the privilege of visiting the GROOTfm 90.5 radio station to hand over a donation of R1,000 on behalf of Emergency Support Team to Eleos, a beneficiary of the campaign.

While this may be a small gesture, it comes from a place of genuine care, compassion, and community spirit, values that strongly resonate with the mission and heart of EST. We believe that sometimes the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference in someoneโ€™s life.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Groot FM 90.5 for the incredible role they continue to play within the community. Through initiatives like , they are not only raising awareness, but actively changing lives, restoring hope, and bringing communities together during difficult times.

As first responders, we often see communities during their hardest moments, and it is inspiring to stand alongside organizations and platforms that are equally committed to making a positive impact in the lives of others.

Thank you to Groot FM 90.5 for allowing us to be part of something meaningful.

Earlier today, Emergency Support Team (EST) members responded to a critical incident in East Lynne involving a male patient who allegedly sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

EST members worked alongside CRG, PVES, and Best Care Emergency Medical Service in a coordinated effort to provide emergency care and support under extremely difficult circumstances. Upon arrival, the patient was found in a critical condition. Advanced Life Support interventions were initiated on scene by Best Care Emergency Medical Services, and the patient was stabilised prior to transport.

The patient was thereafter transported in a critical condition to a nearby hospital, where care was formally handed over to the receiving medical team. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the patient and his family during this deeply difficult time.

We would also like to commend our EST members for the small but meaningful acts of kindness and logistical support demonstrated throughout the incident. One EST member assisted by driving the Advanced Life Support Unit driven by Chery Centurion while the attending paramedic accompanied the patient to hospital, while another EST member assisted in locating an available hospital bed during a time where emergency departments were under immense pressure and resource strain.

These actions may seem small to some, but this is the EST difference, stepping in wherever needed, supporting responders, supporting patients, and supporting the community beyond just the medical emergency itself.

We thank all responding agencies and personnel for their professionalism, teamwork, and dedication during this challenging incident.

For the Community, By the Community.

If someone collapses but is still breathing normally, place them into the recovery position while waiting for emergency services. This helps keep the airway open and reduces the risk of choking if vomiting occurs.

โ€ข Gently roll the person onto their side
โ€ข Tilt the head slightly back to maintain an open airway
โ€ข Keep the top leg bent to prevent rolling
โ€ข Continuously monitor breathing until help arrives

โš ๏ธ If the person is NOT breathing normally, start CPR immediately and activate emergency services.

High cholesterol is often called a โ€œsilentโ€ risk factor because many people feel perfectly fine and have no obvious symptoms. The only way to truly know your numbers is through a simple cholesterol screening.

Knowing your cholesterol can help you:

โœ… Understand your heart health
โœ… Detect risk early
โœ… Make better lifestyle and health decisions
โœ… Protect your heart before problems develop

Your health should never be left in the past. Take a few minutes, check your numbers, and encourage your loved ones to do the same. This can ve done at VitaVibe Lounge, Dischem or your GP.

Earlier today, members of the EST - Emergency Support Team, together with EST Managing Director and Clinical Head, Xander Loubser, had the opportunity to attend a community and political engagement gathering hosted by the Democratic Alliance (DA) in Tshwane.

The Democratic Alliance has remained one of the strongest political parties within the Tshwane region over the past decade, previously leading the City of Tshwane through coalition governance and continuing to play a significant role in local government and community issues. With the upcoming 2026 municipal elections expected later this year, discussions surrounding service delivery, public safety, and emergency response systems remain highly relevant to communities across Pretoria and surrounding areas.

During the engagement, EST had the privilege of meeting with Mr. Cilliers Brink, former Executive Mayor of Tshwane and current DA mayoral candidate for the upcoming municipal elections. Discussions focused on critical issues affecting our communities, particularly challenges surrounding safety, security, emergency medical services, first responder support, and service delivery within the government EMS sector.

EST reaffirmed its commitment to continue serving and supporting communities as volunteer first responders, regardless of political outcomes. We also highlighted the important role played by nonprofit organizations, community responders, and security companies in keeping our areas safe, and expressed the need for greater support and recognition for these sectors moving forward.

In what felt like a powerful reflection of why EST exists, an individual at the gathering sustained injuries after falling, and one of our EST members immediately responded with a medical quick response bag to render assistance on scene. Without hesitation and at no cost, care was provided, once again demonstrating the heart, readiness, and dedication of our members to serve wherever help is needed.

We would like to sincerely thank the Democratic Alliance and Mr. Brink for the opportunity to have our voices heard on such an important platform. We also extend our appreciation to every EST member, follower, sponsor, and supporter who continues to stand behind our vision and mission.

This is what EST stands for โ€” bringing hope, bringing change, and serving the community when it matters most.

For the Community, By the Community.

Last night, EST - Emergency Support Team members turned out to a serious pedestrian vehicle accident in front of Lollipop Roadhouse in Kilnerpark, Pretoria, after the incident was initially identified and logged by ProShield Security.

Upon arrival, responders found an adult patient in an extremely critical Priority 1 (Code Red) condition after allegedly being struck by a motor vehicle in a suspected hit-and-run incident. The driver reportedly fled the scene immediately following the collision.

The patient sustained multiple severe traumatic injuries, including significant head trauma, suspected fractures, severe bleeding, respiratory compromise, critically low blood pressure, and a severely decreased level of consciousness.

EST members immediately initiated emergency medical treatment and stabilization while additional advanced life support resources were requested. We would like to thank highlight the effective use of the Blanket from K2 Medical, addressing the hypothermic component in these patients. Pretoria Volunteer Emergency Services subsequently arrived on scene and assisted with advanced life support interventions and ongoing patient management under extremely challenging circumstances.

Due to prolonged ambulance delays, arrangements were made for private ambulance transport, and the patient was subsequently transported by EMS Ambulance Services to a medical facility while critical care treatment continued en route. Thanks to AURA SA for facilitating this process.

This incident once again highlights the immense pressure currently faced within emergency medical and trauma systems. Despite these challenges, all responding agencies worked together professionally and tirelessly to provide the highest possible level of care to the patient.

We would like to extend sincere appreciation to Proshield Security, PVES, EMS Ambulance Services, Diplomatic Police, and all responding emergency personnel for their teamwork, professionalism, and dedication throughout this difficult incident.

Every second counts. Fast action saves lives.

In many communities, people wait far too long before asking for help, or they are unsure whether a situation is โ€œserious enoughโ€ to report. At the same time, government ambulance services are often under severe pressure, with limited resources, high call volumes, and delays that can affect emergency response times.

This is why early activation, correct information, and proper triage are so important.

The EST - Emergency Support Team regards the following as true emergencies:

โค๏ธ Chest pain
๐Ÿซ Trouble breathing
๐Ÿง  Signs of stroke
โšก Cardiac arrest
๐Ÿฉธ Severe bleeding
๐Ÿš— Trauma or injury
โš ๏ธ Seizures
๐Ÿš‘ Loss of consciousness
๐ŸŒŠ Drowning or near drowning
๐Ÿ”ฅ Poisoning, overdose, maternity, fire-related or other pre-hospital emergencies

Please remember: emergencies are not handled on a โ€œfirst message, first servedโ€ basis. Cases are triaged according to severity. A patient who is not breathing, unconscious, having chest pain, showing stroke symptoms, or severely injured will always take priority over less urgent cases.

We have created the EST Moot Emergency Group to improve community communication, help identify emergencies faster, and guide residents on when to activate emergency care.

This group does not replace official emergency services, but it can help the community act faster, communicate better, and support the right response when every second matters.
