of Joining
If you are at least 18
years of age, a resident of the Townships of
Doty, Mountain & Riverview or you frequent the area because you
have
land or a cottage in the area, the Mountain Ambulance Service is
looking
for you. If you have a strong desire to help your fellow man,
then
we'd love to have you.
This
is a external link to a
short slide show that shows Public Safety on the job. It might give a
better idea of just what we do out there.
|
What we would most like for you
to do
is to stop in and talk with us at the Squad Building located in
Mountain
or call the sation (715) 276-6669 and we can answer all of your
questions.
We realize that most people think of
serving
with an ambulance service as all "blood and guts". In reality, "NOT".
We would like to ease your fears and talk with you about what working
with
us really entails.
|
If you are still serious about
getting involved, there are a few
steps
that we must follow before you can become a member:
- You need a valid drivers license and a reliable automobile.
- You need to complete a Membership Application and return this to the Mountain
Ambulance
Service.
Your application will be reviewed by our Service Administrator and a
quick
background check will be completed on your drivers license.
- An interview with our Recruitment and Retention Officers will be
completed, much like a job interview, which it is.
- If the Recuitment and Retenction Officers feel that you are a
likely candiate for the Mountain Ambulance Service, you will be invited
to a monthly Service meeting and presented to
the
Service
Membership.
- The Service Membership will then vote on your
application and have a final say on your application to join.
Do
you have questions? We have put together a short FAQ sheet on Joining
and may answer some questions you may have:
