Nehawka rescue squad seeks drivers; insurance split under review
Summary
The village rescue squad reported staffing shortages and scheduling problems; the village’s insurance agent is working to split fire and rescue coverage and a March vehicle claim is pending. Trustees discussed possible limits to rescue claims while coverage is restructured.
Rescue representative McKenna Sobota told the board the rescue squad has handled several calls recently but needs additional drivers and is trying to schedule regular meetings after complaints about infrequent meetings. Sobota said the squad has received a new applicant who is currently on the fire department roster.
Pat Neu updated the board that the village’s insurance agent is working on splitting the fire and rescue policy; rescue remains covered while the agent completes the change. The board noted a March 2026 rear-end damage claim and discussed the possibility of limiting rescue claims to a minimum dollar amount while the policy transition continues.
The board did not take further action that night to change rescue staffing or claims policy but discussed the logistics of scheduling and insurance adjustments.
