How Can You Help?

  • Lend a hand. Consider becoming a volunteer. Time is our stock in trade
  • Each emergency call requires about 90 minutes of time
  • Personnel are notified of a call by beeper, so you can be at home or around town, and respond when you are able
  • Volunteers can help people onto a cot, into an ambulance, and onto a bed at the hospital
  • CPR and basic first aid training are required. Free, on-site classes are provided.
  • We need EMTs, too! An EMT is required for each call. We can arrange training for anyone who wants to advance to that level
  • The squad needs a variety of natural talent, including data management assistance
