Our unit, along with Cockburn, Canning / South Perth and Bassendean, run a river ambulance service in conjunction with St Johns.

The need for this service arose when a road ambulance could not get through traffic with a critical patient on board from the south side of the river.

We were used three times this year, with the last just as the fireworks were starting, so we had a really good view as we headed towards the flag pole on the north side of the river.
