Bellevue makes more than two rescue calls per day and are all volunteer and the third largest city in the state, so this is why I ask to who's standards is Plattsmouth busy? Unless the ALS squad is constantly out of service on a run and this starts to strike fear into the citizens that they may not get a good response then there should be no need to hire personnel. If anything they should continue on with their current recruitement of new canidates. One must also keep in mind that it is volunteer, and vollies will get burned out. They should learn to take a break and take time off and work with each other to accomplish their goals without the risk of losing personnel.
In September the 7th - 10th, The Kass Kounty King Korn Karnival will be held in Plattsmouth, and I have attended several times in the past, and it's a good time to also check out the fire station there in Plattsmouth. The AC has always been very friendly and willing to show off their trucks and answer any questions. I was quite impressed at how well the station was run and how clean it was. They take a lot of pride in their equipment, staff and each other. This year should be the same way as they usually have medics on golf carts, etc and ALS standby, so you should stop by the station and talk to the people.
