Looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community? Become a Clinton First Aid & Rescue volunteer and you could save lives in your spare time. Free training will give you the skills you need to provide emergency medical care, rescue someone from dangerous circumstances on land or in water, or transport a sick or injured patient to the hospital. Clinton First Aid & Rescue Needs Volunteers In All Categories: • Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) provide immediate care to the ill and injured and transport the patient to the hospital. • Rescue Associates: EMTs or firefighters who also rescue people from life-threatening or hazardous circumstances, such as being trapped in a vehicle after an accident. • Water Rescue Associates use specialized skills to rescue people during water-related emergencies, such as boating accidents or floods. • Cadets are our youngest volunteers, ages 16 and 17. Cadets receive much of the same training and serve in many of the same ways as our other volunteers, and can quickly become full-duty members at age 18. Providing emergency medical and rescue services takes many skills. All volunteers receive the necessary training at no cost. Interested in joining us?
