Ambulance personnel can receive and carry out instructions from emergency room doctors while still at an accident scene. The Rescue 68 truck carries extrication equipment for auto accidents, ropes, scene lighting, compressed air, and also provides support to the Fire Department. The 4-wheel drive rescue vehicle can be used for backwoods rescue, as well as for transporting the rescue boat. In life-threatening situations such as heart attacks one of 3 lifemobiles available in Mercer County can be called in by the Squad. Special demonstrations are also held for local schools, churches, and scout organizations.
New volunteers are always welcome.
