FD/EMS From Brad Benard:

This month with the dry weather has been our busiest. We had 6 calls for fire and assisted with 3 Ems calls. All 6 were here in our township. We had to purchase a new booster line for our brush truck 381 since a fire last month claimed it. The agriculture training was a huge success. We had 6 departments from through the county come for it. It was two very long days but we learned many techniques for heavy equipment rescue and most importantly we learned how to rescue a patient from being engulfed in a silo. With the amount of local farming these skills will prove useful but hopefully never needed. Thank you all for allowing us to use the hall for that. Lastly, I was called yesterday by a guy doing a bike tour through our area and he asked me if they could set up a water/relief station in our parking lot with a porta John. I had told him I would have to ask as I’m simply the fire guy. If you can let me know the answer I will relay it to him. That is all I have for this month.
 

EMS from Ryan Knoph:

May 16th till June 20

5 calls

Accident, Seizure, Trauma, Sick person, Cardiac issue

Yearly state inspection will be done sometime in the next month. So, there will be a license renewal fee being sent once I apply. Will be needing to update some supplies that expire at end of June. Most of the supplies have a shelf life of 2 years. Someone from the board will need to get ahold of McKesson to get our account unlocked. They told me it has to be done by an approved township board member, because it is under their name. Never received an email or anything on an approval to get the ambulance turbo looked at by Bayview.
