Lede van die nasionale seereddingsinstituut (NSRI), menseredders, noodhulppersoneel en die plaaslike polisie het die afgelope feestyd en skoolvakansie bont gestaan n\u00e1 \u2019n ontstellende groot aantal noodlottige \u00e9n nie-noodlottige watervoorvalle reg oor die land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Terselfdertyd het menseredders ook daarin geslaag om honderde mense se lewe te red deur suksesvolle ingryping by die strande waar hulle aan diens was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Swartlandse kusdorp Yzerfontein het op sy beurt vanjaar een van die besigste vakansieseisoene in \u2019n lang tyd ervaar met \u2019n groot aantal besoekers op die strand, vertel Junr\u00e9 Marais van die NSRI se Stasie 34. \u201cPersoonlik is dit een van die besigste vakansies wat ek al op Yzerfontein beleef het wat die aantal besoekers op die strand betref, en ons was baie gelukkig met min voorvalle,\u201d s\u00ea Marais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy vertel buiten die walvis wat op 14 Desember verstrengel geraak en deur bemanningslede vrygelaat moes word, het slegs twee ernstige voorvalle onder strandgangers in die see voorgekom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Man van 64 het op 27 Desember in die moeilikheid beland toe hy langs Schaapeneiland gaan swem het. \u201cOns reddingsboot (Sonja), met twee bemanningslede aan boord, het hom uit die water gehelp en teruggebring land toe, waar ons hom vir hipotermie behandel het.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ander voorval was \u2019n tienermeisie wat op 30 Desember deur haar lyfplank beseer is. Sy is deur menseredders van See en Sand, wat ten tyde van die voorval aan diens was, bygestaan. Sy het later toe NSRI-lede aankom, geen verdere hulp benodig nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swartland se brand en reddingsdienste het ook gereageer n\u00e1 \u2019n oproep van \u2019n besoeker wat amper by Gansekraal verdrink het. Die swemmer het die voorval gelukkig oorleef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ander noodvoorvalle sluit in iemand wat \u2019n hartaanval gehad het, en \u2019n vakansieganger wat verstik het. Die voorvalle het buite die see plaasgevind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die instituut het egter verlede week luidens \u2019n verklaring \u2019n beroep op mense wat die kus, damme of riviere besoek, gedoen om altyd veiligheid in en om die water eerste te stel. \u201cOuers is verantwoordelik om seker te maak dat \u2019n verantwoordelike volwassene wat kan swem, teenwoordig is wanneer kinders in die water is,\u201d lui die verklaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Marais het die teenwoordigheid van die plaaslike wetstoepassers op en langs Yzerfontein se strand vanjaar grootliks bygedra tot meer verantwoordelike gedrag deur strandgangers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lede van die NSRI in Yzerfontein het hul dankbaarheid teenoor die wetstoepassers uitgespreek vir die werk wat hulle die vakansie gedoen het.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
