Pose
this
question
to
yourself... |
|
What if you had an emergency and no one came? |
|
|
This scenario is not a imaginary one! EMS
squads around the region have been forced to shut their doors and more
are closing their doors during the day throughout the normal
Monday through Friday week due to manpower issues. Relying on
surrounding Squads (who are also short on manpower) and the
single paid EMS company in the county.
This puts a strain
also not just an issue.
With today's busy life's and
families that have 1 or more member working second and third
jobs they have little or no time to volunteer. With less time
in our life's for helping others this leaves critical manpower
shortages within our communities. This critical shortage is a
potential life threatening issue. For someone who needs help
due to an illness or life threatening emergency, they may have to wait for help to
come from an extended distance.
This effects everyone in one way or another. Mostly
the person in need of help, but for the family that might
suffer the loss of a loved one.
Both EMS & Fire Departments are hurting from a lack of new
members.
