would you do if you needed help in a hurry and there v/as no Rescue
Squad to call?
Accidents, searches, and sick calls are just a few of the many thing
that a Rescue Squad does. They are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days

state train and work hard to improve their skills, and are finally
rewarded when they save that one life.
