Stars Air Ambulance responded to another 62 emergencies across Manitoba in the month of July with 17 coming in the central region.

That from Clinical Operations Manager, Ray Rempel, who said the service once again saw a lot of trauma calls for motor vehicle and ATV accidents.

Rempel stated they have also recently been involved with water related emergencies.

"There was the unfortunate event at Grand Beach this past weekend and our aircraft was involved in that response. I can't stress the importance of wearing life jackets in water, supervision near water just being highly aware. Drowning is a very silent incident and often it only takes a few minutes for a tragedy to occur."

Rempel noted drownings can happen to anybody, with the majority of water incidents occurring in the summertime.

He explained significant falls are also more common in the summer.

"A common call that we do get is falling from heights," said Rempel. "It could be a roofing incident or a home construction going on where there is a significant fall. We still do see those types of incidences and obviously any fall from over 10 feet has significant mortality consequences. 10 feet doesn't sound that high when you are on a ladder but it certainly does have significant impact to cause catastrophic injury. Be safe, make sure your ladder is well secured and know what you are doing before you get on a roof."

With roadways busier in the summer, Rempel also reminded motorists to drive extra safely, follow the speed limits, don't text and drive and don't drink and drive.
