 General Info

     The Sabin Rescue Squad was founded in 1980. It is composed of volunteers from the Sabin area. There are presently fifteen members. These caring individuals are dedicated to assisting those with medical emergencies. The Sabin Rescue Squad is a “first responder” unit. This means they are first on the scene to stabilize the patient(s) and prepare the patient(s) for transport via F-M Ambulance or Barnesville Ambulance. Meetings are the first Thursday of every month with training every month.

 

Training

     The Sabin Rescue Squad requires continued training and yearly re-certification to keep their skills sharp.  Training on a variety of situation and/or instruments is held after every meeting.  These situations and instruments include vehicular accidents, diabetic reactions, heart conditions/attacks, AED, blood pressure cuffs, stethoscopes, child birth, breathing obstructions, combi-tubes, broken bones, splints, hyper and hypothermia, blunt force trauma, immobilization, long boards, c-collars, ked boards, bleeding control and the list goes on and on. Seminars and advanced training are offered from a variety of sources such as F-M Ambulance, MeritCare, Barnesville Ambulance, the internet, etc.  All may be attended at no additional cost to the member with board approval. Our monthly training is provided by Bob Klein from F-M Ambulance.
