And the Winner Is...

And the Winner is…….
Richard Schau, a 34-year-old firefighter from West Lake Fire Department, Erie Pennsylvania.  Schau, who is the Assistant Fire Chief at West Lake, writes in an email that they respond to an average of 1100 calls per year.  This highly-trained volunteer fire department does QRS, Rescue and Firefighting and is also trained in HazMat, Airport Firefighting, Heavy Rescue and Tech Rescue – 95% of this department is trained at an EMT level or higher.
West Lake services a population of approximately 65,000 people.
Schau writes, “We assembled our Tech Rescue team six years ago due to the need in our region.”  West Lake Fire currently has 24 members trained in Confined Space & Trench Rescue.  The Searchcam 3000 will be a big addition to this department’s rescue efforts. 
He continues, “We’ve made huge accomplishments with our team and have worked side- by-side with local government and businesses to educate them in the area of Rescue…Within the next two years, our goal is to have our team recognized by the Federal Government and be able to respond anywhere in the US.”
Congratulations to Richard and the West Lake Fire Department.  Schau will take possession of his new Searchcam 3000 in early September.
