The annual Otago-Southland crash rescue competitions were staged at the Rosebank Wenita sawmill in a large enclosed area that gave teams from Balclutha, Milton, Cromwell and a combined southern team the chance to test their skills, learn from others and improve their ability to handle the real crash emergency events.
Results were:
Controlled: Cromwell, 1; entrapment: Balclutha, 1; immediate: Milton, 1.
Best medic: Robbie Allan (Balclutha).
Team leader: Brendan Smith (Balclutha).
Overall results: Balclutha, 1; Milton, 2; Cromwell, 3.
