On 15 July 2012 at approximately 4:00 pm, Andre was on duty with 5 other Medical Ventures, providing first aid at the Whitby RibFest.

Lightning struck the main tent resulting in much chaos and 17 people being injured. 

Andre, and the other Medical Venturers, started to triage and treat those injured until the Region of Durham Paramedics could arrive and take over.
