Serbia and Moldova have a particular problem with Road Traffic Collisions (RTC) with no means to respond. Currently they have 1950's Russian vehicles with only hand tools for extrication. This results in roadside amputations which, as you can imagine in those conditions, are only marginally better than leaving the person trapped!

We aim to send them fully kitted fire engines so that they can extricate casualties and dramatically improve their chances of survival. We will provide trauma equipment in order to assist the casualties during the initial stage of their care and provide full trauma training and RTC training utilising qualified instructors for both.

Please take a moment to look at some of the training and support we were able to provide on our last mission.

Many lives have been saved as a direct result of the engines and training that has been provided and with your support this will continue.

A team has been put together under the umbrella of Blythswood Care. They will leave from Edinburgh in August 2008 and drive three fire engines to Serbia and one to Moldova.

As a team we would appreciate any help that you can give us, whether financial or otherwise. This site allows you to donate with a credit or debit card and the proceeds will go towards getting these fire engines and the equipment to the people that need them.

This site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to help us as Blythswood will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thanks

The Team
