June 2013 Rescue Statistics
The Lebanon Rescue Department had a very busy June 2013. The Rescue Department responded to 71 calls for service in June. In addition to these emergency calls, rescue volunteers stood by at several baseball and softball games, performed a free blood pressure clinic at the town elections and also stood by at the mud races to ensure a quick response in case of any emergencies.
This month we had several serious injury accidents in town, responding to 15 different accidents. Some of these involved off road vehicles and people should always wear a helmet! We ask everyone to stay alert, wear your seat belts and remember Maine State Law requires your headlights to be on anytime you have your windshield wipers on! School is out for the summer, so please slow down, children are out having fun and sometimes play too close to the roadway.
