Roll Call: Linda Jonet, Ken Dart, Leonard Wachal, Jerry Zellner, Edith Lauscher, Glenda Daul Community Present: Jerry Bertrand and Tammy Skarban Public Comments: Tammy Skarban explained their group is called Casco-Lincoln Area First Responders. We cover Casco, Casco Village, Lincoln, Red River, Luxemburg Town, Ahnapee. They have about 40 hours of training which is on hand in the classroom and out in the field (scenarios). They do our specialized training monthly with either Eagle III, Brown County Fire and Rescue or Dr. Painter, who is the medical director for the area. They have advanced training skills, CPR, Epi, Narcan, placement of I-gel (breathing tube) etc. They recently got new mannequins with a grant and money raised during their annual fundraiser that can be programed so they can hear different heart rhythms, kidney functions, place 12 leads, tourniquets and give them different meds. Each member carries the equipment needed in their vehicles. They are covered under the Good Samaritan Law in their scope of practice. They are looking for volunteers; classes and training is paid for by the group. The Town of Luxemburg will be giving them $3k this year to continue their great service.
