Want to joint our team? New Members are welcome for 2012 season.

first aid coverage for large community gatherings and sports events. Our
bike
patrol units provide quick response to injuries in seconds rather than minutes

gr
Community Events:
Having first aid
coverage at your community event is important where there is delayed access to
emergency
Sports Events:
Sports events like soccer, football, gymnastics, baseball and track and field often require us to work as athletic trainers to do assessments, tape ankles and deal with musculoskeletal injuries or fractures on the side lines. Our responders have specialized training in orthopaedic assessment of injuries of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle and spine. Our bike patrol and first aid tent will also be set up for monitoring your athlete after the game or pre-event assessment, taping and bracing. This is a key feature of our team that sets us apart from others! At sports events, the types of injury that we typically see are: Heat exhaustion, cardiac arrest, breathing emergencies, sprains and strains, fractures, contusions, allergic reactions to bee stings or food. Keep your sports event safe and the parents, athletes and bystander’s minds at ease as we patrol around your event.

members wear dark blue uniform pants/shorts that are well illuminated with
reflective decals as well as shirts with reflective Star of Life and reads “BVD
Response Team” so that we are well identified and can be flagged down while
patrolling. We have covered large events up to 1,000-2,000 people as well as
sports events with 1-10 fields running at once. Regardless of how small or
large your event is, we will staff it with the necessary equipment and
responders to keep your patrons safe during your event. For every event, we make
a specialized and detailed emergency response action plan so that we are
prepared for everything and know the quickest response routes and ambulance
access to your event site. We provide radio communication between responders
and also provide the event coordinator with a radio so that we can coordinate an

defibrillator seconds away can mean the difference between life and death. The
presence of our responders sets the community at ease and allows people to feel
safe amongst a large group of people. At large events the types of injury that
we typically see are: slip or falls on uneven surfaces or off stage, cardiac
arrest, breathing emergencies, burns from grease or thermal burns, lacerations
and heat emergencies. Knowing
this, BVD is prepared to responded to these type of injuries with the equipment
and knowledge to provided as much assistance to a first aid situation as
possible until medical help arrives to transport the casualty to the hospital.
We commonly respond to situations where injuries happen and the casualty does
not know if or when they should go to the hospital or what level of transportation to take. Although we do not transport casualties to the hospital
our self, we will recognize if and when medical help is needed and call EMS for
transport while we monitor the casualty’s condition.
