Emergency Medical Responders (formerly First Responders)

The Grant Emergency Medical Responders were formed in January, 1998 with eight members. The current roster has six. If you’d like to join, please contact Jerry Reinwand (Chief) at (715) 570-8720 or Rob Mateer (Captain) at (715) 613-0241. You may also email Rob at firstrescaptain@solarus.net. You do not need a medical background, just a dedication for helping your fellow neighbors in times of need.  Your commitment is simply to respond to calls whenever you are available, plus a team meeting the second Monday of each month.  See the group's Facebook page.
