Station Spotlight - West I-10 Rehab 09-30-2009

"Fueling the Firefighters" is the slogan that this group of dedicated members use to describe the work they do. Rehab is the group that firefighters appreciate the most. When the firefighters are called to a fire the rehab truck come along too and provides water, Gatorade, chairs, cold towels and snacks to help replenish the firefighters and get them ready to go back to work. Firefighter Ryan Sadler from Station 1 loves to see the Rehab truck come, " I love it when they are here, you use up so much energy when fighting a fire so it is good that they are here to help." Led by Herman Stewart the rehab members are from all walks of life, some are professionals, retirees and working moms who just have a desire to help and be another link in the chain that helps to keep the community safe.
