D-Ring is a part of it and can give you the story + I think Roger is a FirePixer so you can ask him yourself For More Details[/quote]
Everyone here pretty much hit it on the head...... Roger started this Non profit company with an old camping trailer and a bronco in 1986 and has truly built it in to something amazing.
He likes his volunteers to be in this line of work (Firefighters, EMT's, Dispatchers) because He knows what we go through on the job and knows the toll it takes on us.
Like Mack said Both Rogers and my number are in all the Fire alarm Nextels. So you will usually get one of us..... Calling Beverly control or Peabody Fire to get us is the "fail safe" In case we shouldn't answer. Most of the cities and towns Rehab Five covers have the agreement with Roger to respond on a worker and some on a 2nd alarm.
Donations are the biggest thing.... From money to the volunteers. Rehab Five has received donations from City's, Towns, FD Locals, Call Associations, Relief Associations to just citizens sending checks in the mail. It's really what helps keep Rehab Five going. The cost of Rehab Five varies but its pretty much around $30.000 a year for supplies, maintenance Etc.
The Website pretty much explains everything. I know Rehab-Five is ALWAYS looking for more volunteers that meet the criteria so if your interested let us know.
