He noted wryly that the group is receiving an exponentially increasing number of calls to assist in the mountains, on the rivers, and off and on the trails in an area about the size of Connecticut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe do get visitors around here in the summertime,\u201d Palmiotti told the Roundup for Safety Board of Directors with a wink. \u201cThe fire department is great, but the fire truck can\u2019t always make it up to Camp Misery,\u201d Palmiotti continued, referring to a trailhead in the Jewel Basin area.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThat\u2019s where we come in. Right now, our equipment isn\u2019t keeping up with the volume of calls we\u2019re receiving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He further relayed that in efforts to inventory and bring all its rescue and medical equipment up to current Best Practices, FCSAR noted a need for two types of rescue equipment to assist in the many low and medium-angle rescues they perform: a vacuum spine board and rescue litter kit. FCSAR was awarded $2,670 in Roundup for Safety funds for these items.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Other<\/span> Projects Funded<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Three Rivers EMS \u2014 Bullet\/stabproof vests \u2014\u00a0<strong>$8,700<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Friends of Flathead Avalanche Center \u2014 Web development for safety messaging \u2014<strong> $7,500<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flatheadelectric.com\/community\/roundup-for-safety\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-46418 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flatheadelectric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RFSLogo_color_800px.png\" alt=\"RoundUp for Safety Flathead Electric Cooperative\" width=\"262\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Roundup for Safety is a voluntary program for Co-op members who round up their electric bills to the next dollar.
