Nehawka rescue squad reports staffing strain after captain resigns
Summary
At the Oct. 9 meeting the village rescue report said the squad responded to six calls, the captain recently resigned, a lieutenant is acting as captain, and the roster is down to about six to nine members.
During the Oct. 9 Board of Trustees meeting, the rescue report indicated the squad is operating with limited staffing. McKenna reported there were six recent calls and that "the members are stretched thin" after Captain McIntyre's resignation; the lieutenant is currently acting as captain and the roster was reported at about six to nine members.
The report did not include a formal board vote or immediate staffing action; trustees did not record a motion to hire or other direction during the meeting. The trustees and staff may address staffing and response capacity in subsequent meetings or through administrative follow-up.
What happens next: No formal action was recorded at the Oct. 9 meeting; the rescue roster status and any staffing plans are likely to be considered further by trustees and relevant emergency service leadership.
