 The
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates
people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may
impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response
skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team
organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the
training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT
members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace
following an event when professional responders are not
immediately available to help. CERT members also are
encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking
a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in
their community. Lumberton Rescue and EMS offers this
training at their headquarters located at 2391 Roberts
Avenue. If your neighborhood or community is interested in
this training, or need additional information, please call
us at 910-738-7275. This program is overseen by the North
Carolina Division of Emergency Management and is part of a
nationwide program to train lay persons in what to do in
case of an emergency, such as tornadoes, hurricanes and
other disasters. In 2011, several members of the Oaks
neighborhood in North Lumberton attended training and
established their own CERT team. LREMS would like to see
this program extended to other areas in our community. Please call us to set up an informational meeting for your
neighborhood!

Recent Incidents & Events |
 LREMS
conducts Rapid Diver Training
LREMS divers
recently conducted training on the Rapid Diver System. This
system is designed for quick deployment in those situations
where a diver needs to immediately enter the water, such as
a submerged vehicle or other water rescue where there is a
life hazard. This new equipment includes two Rapid Diver
sets, and an inflatable boat. These items have been placed
on our heavy rescue truck for immediate deployment for these
specialized types of rescue. LREMS continues to improve and
maintain our high level of training to better serve the
citizens of Lumberton and Robeson County. |

 LREMS Participates in Mock Crash for Prom Week
Lumberton
Rescue and EMS, along with Lumberton Fire Department,
Lumberton Police Department, North Carolina Highway Patrol
and North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement Division,
assisted Mothers Against Drunk Driving with a mock crash at
Lumberton High School recently. The event was staged during
Prom Week to illustrate the danger of drinking and driving.
Student volunteers acted as victims at a staged motor
vehicle collision in which one of the driver’s was
intoxicated. The intoxicated driver was “arrested” by SHP.
One of the victims was “dead on scene”, while the others
were transported by ambulance away from the scene. The goal
was to make students see what could happen as a consequence
of a bad decision. Special recognition to LREMS junior
members who participated in this program as well. |

 Rumba on the Lumber
LREMS
provided medical stand-by and rehab services for the annual
Rumba on the Lumber in downtown Lumberton on Saturday, March
2nd. Runners participated in a variety of runs, including a
family fun run, 1k run and the main event, the 5k run.
LREMS fielded a team of runners, who competed in the 5K run.
Also being held downtown was the North of the Border Chili
Cook-Off. LREMS provided a team and prepared our special
recipe of Rescue 1 Chili. We are proud to report we won for
Best Public Safety Chili and for the Strangest Ingredient
(candied crickets). The chili was a hit and we ran out
quickly. Proceeds from both events go to worthwhile
organizations here in the Lumberton area. LREMS is proud to
be a part of this great event. |
