The First Responder unit in Fakenham has attended a number of emergency situations in Reepham and the surrounding area. Reepham Lions have helped to make their lives easier by funding licences for a new phone app that allows rapid communication both from the emergency response controllers to the responder unit, and from the responders themselves to the controllers when requesting additional support.
Members of Reepham Lions visited the base at Fakenham and were shown how the new phone app works. They were also able to watch the Responder team being trained on the use of new equipment.
Reepham Lions President, Brenda Gostling thanked the Responder team for the work that they do for people in the local area. All the First Responders are volunteers who have been trained to be first on the scene for medical emergencies, providing valuable care in the critical period immediately after the emergency has arisen.
