Helping Each Other
Posted March 27, 2014 WISAR purchased a brand new gurney to use for transporting victims off the island but found it was to heavy for our boat. We donated it to SJ John Rescue who can put it to much better use and received some much needed gear from them in exchange. A real Win/Win for both organizations!
Fire Truck Training
Posted June 1, 2008 WISAR members participated in Fire Truck Operation training at 7:30am this morning! Talk about dedicated. The members became proficient at the pump operation and hose handling.
