Alert to FH First Aid's Newest Members

Fair Haven First Aid Squad marked National EMS Week recently by announcing new members who recently joined the squad.

Fair Havenites Ryan Corbett, Lisa Haskell, Nancy Hartman and Fair Haven Police Sgt. Sherri Lambert have completed their first responder training and are now active members.

Diane Feeney has also passed her first responder exam and will be sworn in as a member of the Fair Haven Fire Department as well at its July meeting. 

The theme for this year’s EMS Week, running May 19 to 25, was “EMS: One Mission, One Team.” The Fair Haven First Aid Squad responds to every fire department call as well as to emergency medical situations.

The squad is an all-volunteer unit of the Fair Haven Fire Department, providing around-the-clock emergency medical services, land and water rescue and emergency medical transportation for the residents of Fair Haven.

In 2012, Fair Haven First Aid Squad responded to 621 calls. 

It's a reminder "that first responders are the front line between local communities and area hospitals,” FHFA President Katy Badt-Frissora said. "And we are proud to serve Fair Haven and our surrounding communities.”

FHFA Captain Trudy Wojciehowski invites any member of the community interested in becoming a first responder to email fhfascaptain@fhfd.org for more information.
