Cal-Ore Donates Cash to Local Fire Volunteers
(January 29, 2007-Press Release)
 

As part of an ongoing effort to assist local volunteer agencies, Cal-Ore Life Flight recently donated over $4,700.00 to Curry County Fire departments.

According to Cal-Ore President, Dan Brattain, “Our community is so fortunate to have such a dedicated group of professional and well trained volunteers. These local community members greatly assist our service in providing the highest quality Emergency Medical Services.” Brattain noted that the fire departments play an integral role in assisting with accident scenes, lifting assistance, additional help with critical patients, and first responses.

Cal-Ore Life Flight sent checks to all volunteer agencies in their 911 response areas, which included Harbor Fire, Brookings Fire, Cape Ferello Fire, Pistol River Fire, Winchuck Fire, Gold Beach Fire, Agness Fire, and Ophir Fire.

Joe Gregorio, General Manager of Cal-Ore said, “Many times these volunteers are taken for granted. They leave their jobs, homes, kids birthday parties, and other important functions to respond whenever asked. We truly appreciate all that they do; they do not get nearly enough credit.”

Cal-Ore also provides on-going training to these agencies along with medical supplies and equipment to assist them as needed.
