As we move forward waiting for the election of a new board of directors for the LMRFD, there are things we can do.
Dolan Springs, Meadview, and White Hills all need volunteers to assist in emergencies. The LMRFD is responsible for fire service inside the 144sm LMRFD, and the 2200sm ambulance area.
With the limited manpower in the LMRFD for both fire service and EMS, a Citizens Emergency Response Team, or CERT could provide various support services to the the sheriff's office, DPS, LMRFD firefighters, as well as other services that would benifit the entire community especially in emergencies.
Mike Browning at Mohave County Emergency Management tells me there will be a training course for a local CERT Team, or Citizens Emergency Response Team coming up in January 2016.
He needs around 20 people. So now is the time for people in Dolan Springs, Meadview, White Hills, and West of US93 to give Mike a call and support their community.
The fire district needs to support a CERT team. I hope the new fire board will be interested in volunteers and support things like a CERT Team.
