While our
main focus is on the care and transport of the suddenly ill or injured patient,
we are also aware that sometimes people need to be removed from situations or
predicaments. Therefore, we have members certified in Vehicle Extrication,
Vertical Rescue, Basic and Light Duty Rescue, Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR),
and Confined Space Rescue.
Our members
come from all walks of life. Some of our current members are retired,
homemakers, teachers, nurses, electronic technicians, plumbers, dispatchers,
auctioneers, child care providers, electricians, small business owners,
students, managers, professional paramedics, factory workers, store clerks, the
list can go on and on.
Practically
anyone can join our rescue squad and become a volunteer. The pay is
non-existent but the rewards can be great. We have needs for all
interests. You do not have to run emergency calls to help us.
