South Tahoe Action Team schedule released for 2015

South Lake Tahoe locals have the opportunity to help out the community in the time of disaster by taking part in STAT, South Tahoe Action Teams.

After eight hours of instruction by members of the South Lake Tahoe Fire Department, those completing the course 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. STAT team members need to be well versed in the SLTFD command structure, emergency first aid, lifting/moving techniques, use of extinguishers, flood safety and building collapse.

Applications are now being accepted for the Spring course which runs from April 2 to April 23. Classes take place at the Fire Department Training Center located at 1100 Al Tahoe Blvd. on Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Two additional sessions will be offered later in the year during the following dates:

Session #3: June 4 - June 25, 2015
Session #4: September 3 - September 24, 2015
