We covered all of our calls last month. Monday night trainings are turning out 20-25 members.
The three pumper trucks have been serviced and state inspected. The plow on the new brush truck has certainly gotten some use. Several of us have been sharing the plowing duties and the plow apparatus is performing very well.
A letter has been forwarded to a member who attended a EMT-B cours this past year and has not produced a license at this time. A second member will also be forwarded a letter in the near future. A student from the previous EMT-B course has passed the state test. One of our members completed the Firefighter I NC course and passed the state test.
Two members have registered for the FFI and FFII coarse being held in Foster while two members have registered for the EMT-C course in Foster.
