THE FIREFIGHTERS AND AMBULANCE PERSONNEL OF THE FIRE AND RESCUE SQUAD REGULARLY FACE THOSE THAT ARE LITERALLY A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. AT SAINT MICHAEL'S COLLEGE, THE FIRE AND RESCUE SQUAD IS AN INDEPENDENT VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION OF YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN STUDENTS. IN ADDITION TO THEIR ACADEMIC AND EXTRACURRICULAR RESPONSIBILITIES, THEY HAVE TAKEN ON THE CRITICAL RESPONSIBILITY OF SERVING THE PUBLIC BY PROVIDING FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT, NOT ONLY ON CAMPUS BUT ALSO THROUGHOUT A BROAD AREA OF VERMONT'S MOST POPULOUS COUNTY. WITH THE DEDICATION AND SUPPORT OF THE SAINT MICHAEL'S STUDENTS, ALUMNI, AND STAFF VOLUNTEERS, THEIR SERVICE HAS CONTINUED 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR, SINCE 1969. SAINT MICHAEL'S RESCUE RESPONDS TO MORE THAN 2500 CALLS ANNUALLY INVOLVING RESPIRATORY AND CARDIAC EMERGENCIES, MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS, INTER-HOSPITAL NEONATAL TRANSPORTS, AND MORE. AS VERMONT-CERTIFIED EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS, STUDENTS PROVIDE THE SAME RESPONSIBLE AND PROFESSIONAL CARE THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM ANY AMBULANCE SERVICE ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. THE FIRE UNIT RESPONDS TO AN AVERAGE OF 650 EMERGENCY CALLS PER YEAR, INCLUDING STRUCTURE FIRES, CAR FIRES, CAR ACCIDENTS, FIRE ALARMS, AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS.
