NATIONAL Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) St Francis Bay Station Commander, Sara Smith, recently accepted a donation of five handheld radios from the St Francis Rotarians, made possible through fundraising efforts at the Billy’s Beach Ballies event in January.
Station 21 was founded in 1972 by Leighton Hullet, with the station’s operations primarily focused on medevacs from the chokka (squid fishing) boats that frequently visited the area.
However, the summer holidays brought a different set of challenges with many drowning-in-progress calls, and paddle ski and boat accidents requiring immediate attention and expertise.
