The City of South Lake Tahoe is now accepting applications for the Spring 2017 South Tahoe Action Team.
The classes will be Wednesdays, May 10, May 17 and May 24 from 5:30pm to approximately 7:30pm. There is a “practical” session tentatively scheduled for Saturday, June 3rd which has proven to be a fun event!
Curriculum will include 9 hours of instruction taught by members of the South Lake Tahoe Fire Department. STAT team members will be expected to commit their time and will be called upon in times of natural disaster, large scale emergencies and times of need in the South Lake Tahoe area. Due to staffing and equipment limitations the South Lake Tahoe Fire Department will be reliant on local citizens’ abilities to assist in their neighborhoods with basic first aid and triage. We will also need STAT team members to be well versed in our command structure, emergency first aid, lifting/moving techniques, use of extinguishers, flood safety and building collapse.
If interested please contact Fire Captain Kim George at Fire Station #1 at (530) 542-6161 or via email at kgeorge@cityofslt.us. Applications are available on the city’s website at www.cityofslt.us/firestat.
