RESIDENTS are furious an ambulance had to be sourced from another area while badly burnt chef Matt Golinski lay screaming in his Sunshine Coast driveway.
Neighbour Gary Siljac told The Courier-Mail he tried in vain to comfort Mr Golinski for more than half an hour, watching firefighters and police arrive before an ambulance.
Mr Golinski lost his wife and three daughters in the tragedy at Tewantin and suffered severe burns to 40 per cent of his body.
“Where were they? It was an eternity before an ambulance came and then it was a guy on his own. We have an ambulance station only a few minutes away,” Mr Siljac said.
“The poor bloke (Matt) was burnt from top to bottom and was screaming in pain and there was nothing we could do for him,” he said.
“We heard that other ambulances had been attending incidents in Hastings St involving some drunken idiots brawling. Surely something has gone wrong here.”
Ambulances are allocated jobs by communications with the Sunshine Coast broken into four groups – Caloundra, Maroochydore, Noosa and Gympie.
The stations closest to the fire are Tewantin (two minutes away), Cooroy (11 minutes) and Noosa (15 minutes).
A Department of Community Safety spokeswoman confirmed Queensland Ambulance Service had experienced “high operational volumes” at the time.
She said three QAS units in the area could not attend the Tewantin job as they were responding to other cases.
The first ambulance to respond was sourced from Maroochydore, with the official log showing it arrived at 3.59am – 27 minutes after the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service notified the QAS at 3.32am.
Police said the first triple-0 call was logged at 3.31am and they had officers on the scene at 3.47am. A fire unit had been first to arrive at 3.41am.
The Courier-Mail was informed both police and ambulance were required to attend a disturbance on Noosa Pde, near Hastings St, at 3.30am.
The Department of Community Safety said the QAS was mindful that the details of the Tewantin fire would be subject to a coronial inquest.
“The QAS allocated a total of four ambulance vehicles, including a Regional Operations Supervisor to this case and QAS crews remained on standby at the scene until cleared by QFRS,” a spokeswoman said.
