If we can even pick up two volunteers it is worth com- ing here today,” said Keith Rinehimer, Chief of Kingston Township Ambulance. He, Kevin Kelley, and Dave Rine- himer brought several of their rescue tools to explain to the students. They demonstrated the use of hydraulic lifts, Jaws of Life, and compression pil- lows. “We like to show these things because people don’t re- alize how much it costs to have a rescue crew.” The Emergency Response Team is made up of student volunteers, most of whom are trained as volunteer firemen and ambulance personnel with local companies. Many of the students involved during this initial year of service are mem- bers of the senior class. “Hopefully, we can get some more kids involved,” said John Gilligan, one of the event orga- nizers. “Then we would have been successful today.” ERT team members have worked on escape plans for school fire drills and helped the school nurse in coordinating medical emergencies. They pre- sented a set of laminated es- cape plans for each classroom to school principal Frank Galic- ki during the day's program. The goal of the ERT, which ap- pears to be the first of its kind in the country, is to be pre- pared to act as First Respon- ders for any emergency at the school. “The ERT is a good stepping stone to emergency services for students to help out without making a full commitment,” said Matt Reshauer, vice presi- dent of the club and a volun- teer with Shavertown Fire De- partment. .
