**DRILL NIGHT YESTERDAY**
Last night Fire and EMS members reviewed potential new equipment for the SVFD to possibly utilize in the future on EMS calls

We would like to thank Bryson from Stryker for coming up for our weekly Drill night yesterday to demonstrate their new electric stair chair!
Somers EMS responds to nearly 2,300+ EMS calls a year, many of which requires both our volunteer members as well as our paid staff to carry patients up or down the stairs.
The Stair Chair is one of our most frequently used equipment on calls. Having the ability to utilize powered equipment such as this will help keep our both volunteer members and paid staff less likely to get injured on calls.
Thank you to the Board of Fire Commissioners for setting up this demonstration! This drill was extremely informative, and hands-on for our members! We hope to see this as a new addition to our EMS equipment, in the near future.
