Seldovia Fire and EMS Departments wishes to thank everyone who helped us make the 4 wheeler raffle and the pancake breakfast a success.  Thank you to all of you who helped us set up, loaned us STUFF, cooked the food, ran to the store for more STUFF, and those who did all the other things that were needed.  A thanks also to those who showed up to help and may not have had the opportunity this year to do that.  Never fear, there is always next year.
Thank you also, to all of you that walked the bar, the street and anywhere else at nite and during the day, bugged friends and family, did us a favor at your business,  sat at the table near the harbor and sold to the poor people who passed by and did not want to be rude, those pesky 4 WHEELER tickets!

Congratulations to our raffle winner, Teri Hall, pictured above with her son and her brand new 4 wheeler!

Congrats to Sharon Bond for winning the incentive for most tickets sold.  She won $150 and 2 round trip tickets to Homer, donated by Homer Air and Smokey Bay Air.

The department met its goal with the raffle, raising the monies needed to meet our part of grant money that has been approved to purchase a new LifePak for the ambulance.  This equipment will greatly benefit the whole community when there is a medical emergency.  The monies raised from the pancake breakfast will go towards equipment and the daily operations of the fire department.

Again a grateful thanks to all of you,

Seldovia Fire and EMS Departments

“From Seldovia.”

“I didn’t know we had an ambulance!”

This was part of a conversation I had earlier this week with a bystander, after what turned out to be what we EMS volunteers consider a “good call”: one that ended with everyone safe, warm, uninjured, and with no need for an ambulance ride. Although this is always our preferred outcome, we work hard to make sure we are ready to help, whenever and however we are needed.

EMS in Seldovia can often fly under the radar. The ambulance rarely runs “hot” (lights and sirens) because the traffic in our little community doesn’t require it. Volunteers don’t walk around town in our EMS jackets with the high-visibility trim. Often the only giveaway is the pager clipped to a waistband, or a radio antenna Continue Reading
