The Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District formalized a program for auxiliary volunteers in January 2015 by creating a Fire Corps program.\u00a0 Fire Corps program volunteers are utilized to assist Fire Department and other related community service functions in non-emergency roles as needed for the Fire District.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fire Corps assignments include: Administrative functions (office work, data entry), Life Safety Education such as CPR and First Aid training, Blood Pressure Assessments, green emergency Address Sign Program, public and fire\/EMS department assistance and Community Risk (smoke alarms and fire prevention\/safety education).\u00a0 Fire Corps members may also receive training in other duties and programs as assigned by the Fire Chief.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Fire Corps initially started with just a few members and as of December 2017 has 24 members.\u00a0 The 24 members volunteered 2,532 hours in 2017 assisting the Fire Department with important community and fire\/life safety events.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Currently, Beverly Halcon is the Fire Corps Chairperson and manages the activities for the members.\u00a0 The group had many accomplishments in 2017 including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Completed 416 blood pressure readings during monthly BiMart blood pressure clinics. These are held on the third Tuesday of each month from Noon to 4 p.m.<\/li>\n
  2. Installed 40 green reflective emergency address signs throughout the District. The signs help crews quickly locate addresses within the Fire District.<\/li>\n
  3. Taught 10 CPR\/AED and First Aid classes educating 106 community members.<\/li>\n
  4. Performed residential smoke alarm testing along with the American Red Cross covering 29 homes and installing over 91 smoke alarms.<\/li>\n
  5. Checked a total of 50 child safety seats through three Sisters area clinics and other regional clinics.<\/li>\n
  6. Began an AED grant program encouraging businesses in the Sisters area to purchase automated external defibrillators. Nine additional AED\u2019s were added to the community due to this program.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Chief Johnson said, \u201cI am so proud of all of our Fire Corps members.\u00a0 They provide services for our community that we wouldn\u2019t otherwise be able to provide.\u00a0 I am convinced that their efforts have saved lives and will save many more in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n
