Odebolt Unit Needs EMTs

The Sac County Ambulance Service-Odebolt unit is in desperate need of EMTs.

A class will be offered in Sac City this winter, starting in mid-January to the end of April.  Classes will be held on Mondays and Thursdays from 6 - 10 p.m. and one Saturday a month.  Sac County will pay for the class.

The Odebolt unit is down to four EMTs, and Sac and Lake View now cover most calls.  The Odebolt unit is a "Provisional-I" service, and the Life-Pak 300 defibrillator is used.  Squad members are on call for 12-hour shifts; each shift has three persons on call.

The Odebolt unit also needs drivers.  Drivers must have a high school diploma or equivalent, a valid driver's license, and acceptable driving record and be 18 years of age or older.
