Tim Linke, myself Jim Densberger and Jan Shaner are acting as a committee to review the 911 dispatch protocols for the rural departments with Lindsey Sheer from 911’s assistance if needed. If you have questions that need more immediate needs addressed can email Lindsey at lscheer@ci.lincoln.ne.us. The Southeast Fire foundation board met and voted to contribute the $2500.00 needed to schedule the additional day of the HAZ IQ class. The class will start on 12/6/09 and run every day through 12/10/09. Southeast’s new ambulances are in service and making calls. Remember if the Health Department issues a burn permit to tell people that they also need one from the Fire Department who’s district they are burning in.
