The fourth session of the South Lake Tahoe Fire Department’s South Tahoe Action Team (STAT) graduated during today’s City Council meeting.
This program is for community members to be trained by the South Lake Tahoe Fire Department as responders during times of crisis. Curriculum includes eight hours of instruction taught by members of the fire department. Graduates may be called upon in times of natural disaster, large scale emergencies and times of need in the South Lake Tahoe area. The curriculum also instructs STAT team members of the Incident Command structure, emergency first aid, lifting/moving techniques, use of extinguishers, flood safety and building collapse.
Today’s graduates included Jamie Gower, Tina Cullen, John Maher, Tom Maugeri, Georgette Hartley, Russ Dahler, Caroline Matera and Mandy Kendall.
“The STAT program is designed to have neighbors helping neighbors. Recently STAT graduates assisted in a neighborhood evacuation notification as part of an emergency drill,” said South Tahoe Fire Department Chief Jeff Meston.
