You may have been told that the alcohol preps that we are using are on a recall/dangerous list. This is not correct; the preps we have in stock and use are produced by Kendall/Webco and are not on a recall list.

Next Sunday, March 13th Daylight Saving Time begins. Turn your clocks ahead 1 hour. Spring officially begins March 20th.

All Stevens County EMS agencies, the Stevens County Local EMS and Trauma Care Council will be holding their regularly scheduled meeting March 22nd in Colville at the Ambulance Center beginning at 1930 hrs. Please make sure that your agency has a representative attending.

Thank you again for your applications concerning the new SCSA Field Training Officer (FTO) program. We are processing the applications and will forward them with recommendations to Sheriff Allen and Under Sheriff Webb during the upcoming week. We plan to move forward with this program very soon.

Terry & John will be concluding the EMT-B class this week! Congratulations to all students who have stuck in there and finished! A big Thank you to all of the current SCSA EMTs who assisted with the class, without the extra help it would not have been possible to instruct this large of a class! We are looking forward to helping many of them on board with SCSA as Primary Crewmembers.

Thank you all for volunteering with your local EMS agencies.
