Belize National Fire Service’s newly appointed chief, Collin Gillet, envisions cross-training his members in the area of emergency medical services (EMS). With your support, Belize Heroes is actively making his dream a reality!
The pilot project will run for 18 months in the twin towns of Santa Elena and San Ignacio in the Cayo district in Belize.
We have already acquired 2 ambulances: 1 was donated by DuPont Spruance plant, the other by Forest View Volunteer Rescue Squad. We have also gratefully received AED, backboards, C-collars, and blood-pressure cuffs among other basic EMS equipment.
We especially thank Richmond, VA-area volunteer rescue squads for their help.
There is still more to do. We need equipment to see this project to completion. If you would like to help, please see the list of needs and contact Mac McFarlane via email or from our contact page.
