Council pursues Narcan training for junior and regular firefighters, to avoid reliance on school system
Summary
Litchfield Prevention Council discussed Narcan training with Frank VanOrmer and plans to host sessions for junior and regular firefighters; Caroline Wilcox Ugurlu will contact VanOrmer and Emma (WCTC) is prepared to assist.
The Litchfield Prevention Council agreed on June 9 to pursue Narcan training for junior firefighters and regular firefighters, a step council members said could avoid depending on the school system for overdose-response training.
Council members discussed logistics with Frank VanOrmer, who indicated he is willing to host training sessions. Caroline Wilcox Ugurlu said she will contact VanOrmer to move the training forward. Emma, representing WCTC in the minutes, said she is ready to support the effort.
Members described the approach as a viable alternative to school-based training, allowing the council and local fire leadership to schedule sessions for both junior and regular firefighter cohorts. The minutes do not include a formal vote, vendor selection or training date; council members indicated next steps are to coordinate schedules and confirm instructors.
