Last weekend, Gozo’s Emergency Response and Rescue Corps Lifeguards were busy assisting swimmers in Comino and Ramla during the busiest weekend in Summer. E.R.R.C. lifeguards in Comino reported that there where two separate major separate incidents.

The first involved a foreigner who suffered from a spinal injury near Kemunett. He was stabilised by the E.R.R.C. lifeguards.

The second case involved a person suffering from a head injury. Both casualties were transported by means of the E.R.R.C. hydroambulance, Lifesaver 1, to Mgarr Harbour in Gozo, from where they were then transported to the Gozo General Hospital.

Apart from these cases E.R.R.C. lifeguards also assisted a number of tired swimmers in the Blue Lagoon at Comino.

The Lifeguarding service at Blue lagoon is being run on a daily basis. The service is possible due to financial support from the Malta Tourist Authority. Support is also being provided by the Ministry for Gozo – eco-Gozo, Transport Malta, Police, Armed Forces of Malta, Police and the Civil Protection Department.
