FIREFIGHTERS RETURN from HAITI RELIEF EFFORT
The Firefighters estimated that they provided basic medical treatment to at least 100 people per day during the ten days they were actively working in Haiti. They also provided advanced medical aid to approximately 30 people per day and also assisted in transporting others to hospitals when possible. Our team is overwhelmed by the outpouring of strong support from our local community and is extremely thankful for this support in making the trip possible. The group plans on making a report at the February 16 City Council Meeting. BACKGROUND INFO
Captain Jamie Mason, Lieutenant Kevin Denton, Firefighter/Paramedic John Hall, Firefighter/Paramedic Mark Karjalainen and Firefighter/EMT Bryant Kroh departed from Port Angeles on January 23. After a brief stopover in Florida , the team entered Haiti by air either via Port au Prince or through the Dominican Republic . Once on the ground, the team will liaison with representatives from MAF, then they will proceed to utilize their emergency medical and rescue skills to provide as much aid as they can, wherever they are able. The group plans to return to Port Angeles on February 3rd. The team will be completely self-sufficient, bringing their own food, equipment, rescue tools, personal protective gear and medical supplies. This trip is being funded entirely by the personnel participating, with some assistance from private donations. Almost every member of the Fire Department is contributing in some way, either through monetary donations or by arranging their work schedules to enable the personnel to go. As an example, a Port Angeles Fire Department paramedic who is unable to accompany the team, is not only working shift trades, he donated $500 personally to the effort. The generosity of the community has also been wonderful. The Independent Bible Church has donated air miles and Olympic Medical Center, Wall Mart, and Home Depot are also making a donation. Team Updates Available online: The team will post updates on their efforts as often as possible. Follow them at: http://www.mercworks.us/index_files/Page657.htm
