FAST Squad
Did you ever wonder
what FAST Squad stands for?
It’s the First Aid Stabilization Team.
The Groton/Ryegate FAST Squad has been in service for many
years and consists of volunteer members. The Squad includes Emergency Medical
Technicians certified from the Basic Level through the Paramedic level. This squad was the first FAST
squad in the state to meet Vermont Paramedic Protocols.
Members are expected to participate in training and
business meetings held each month.
The FAST Squad holds an annual community CPR course.
The FAST Squad also participates in numerous community-oriented services and
programs.
We encourage anyone who might be interested in
joining the FAST Squad to email Jon Austin-Short at Grotonems5@hotmail.com .
