CERT Trailer in Apple Valley!

Town dignitaries and CERT volunteers celebrate the new CERT trailer in Apple Valley Town dignitaries and CERT volunteers celebrate the new CERT trailer in Apple Valley

Using a grant from the Department of Homeland Security, the County Citizens Corps Advisory Committee agreed to have a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) trailer in Apple Valley. The trailer contains the equipment and supplies necessary for CERT training ... medical supplies, backboards, cribbing boards, fire extinguishers, and more.

While any government agency can borrow the trailer for CERT training, the privilege of hosting a trailer is to have access to it during a disaster. Apple Valley is the only city in the northern region to host one of seven CERT trailers purchased by the County of San Bernardino.

Burn Quest Comes to Apple Valley

"Firefighters Quest for Burn Survivors" is a non-profit organization managed by firefighters and civilians who volunteer their services and are dedicated to assisting those who have been affected by burn injuries. The organization hosts several fund raisers throughout the year in which donations are received and distributed, on behalf of each donor, to local burn centers and foundations as well as to burn survivors and their families.

Such a fund raiser found its way to Apple Valley in June, at which time the Apple Valley firefighters associations and local residents were able to make their annual donation.

To find out more about the organization, log on to www.firefightersquest.org or call (866)937-8378.
