| Info for ALL |
Establish what safety and
rescue personnel are available at your location. Advise HQ who are
available. In case of emergency, report locally (if available) and advise
HQ. If no rescue available locally, advise HQ and state this. HQ will then
coordinate with FD. If our internal communication fails, call Enfield PD
Dispatch on cell at 763-6400 ext 1. HQ will keep Tech. Director informed. The race committee is truly appreciative of your
service. You are an integral part of making this one of the best, and
longest running, events in Enfield. Dennis, Tom and Dave have, for years,
done an impeccable job in creating our communication system. Thank You! Knut N1QKP / LA9UKA |
