Disaster Services
 
The Salvation Army of Derry, NH has a response
vehicle that responds to local and statewide fire scenes
and other emergency scenes. The Salvation Army has
agreements with the following Fire Departments.....Derry, Chester, Auburn, & Windham,
and the SNH SOU Team.
What Do We Do
The team is trained to provide assistance in
three areas of service. 1. Hydration-One of its purposes on scene is to hydrate
the service personnel. Team members work in the canteen
to service the workers either food or drink. 2. Rehab-The team is trained to perform a quick general assessment on every firefighters that walks through the
rehab area. This is a greatly needed service for the Fire
Depts. because it will provide accountability with Officers
on how well maintained their crews are. The team works hand
in hand with Paramedics on scene to provide this service.3. Spiritual Availability-Sometimes fire scenes can become
a tough place to be. Things happen, and people need an
outlet to meet an emptiness sometimes caused by
emergency scenes. The Salvation Army will also fill this
gap and be available not only for service workers but for
victims and their families.VolunteersThe Salvation Army is always looking for new team members. If you are interested, please contact us and we will guide through the training.
