At
6 p.m. on Thursday August 4th Maleny ambulance officer, Peter Griffey
was called to Stanley River Road, Maleny where a person had been chain
sawing trees on his property and it appears a tree or part of a tree
fell causing injuries to that person.
The
injured male person had gone to complete the work at about 4p.m. and
was to return by 5p.m. When he did not return the ambulance was
called and on the arrival of the ambulance the male person was found
unconscious.
The
Maleny SES Group was called in to assist in moving the casualty up a
steep slippery heavily timbered hill that was only accessible by 4WD.
This recovery took a number of ambulance officers and SES volunteers to
complete the extradition.
The
injured person was conveyed to the Maleny hospital where his condition
was stabilised before being medivaced to the P.A. Hospital in Brisbane
by Queensland Government helicopter where he was admitted in a critical
condiion.
The name of the injured person has not been released.
The
Maleny SES Volunteer group meets at the SES Building in the Maleny
Showground on a Monday night at 7p.m. Volunteers are always welcome to
join the group. To find out more simply go along to a Monday group
