On behalf of the members of Signal
22, I would like to thank the many first responders from all of the counties
and municipalities that have been loyal contributors over the many, many years
we have served them.
This past year, we have provided
our services to hundreds of first responders
by providing food, assorted drinks,
snacks, and many other things when
called upon.
Over the years, as the technique of
fighting fires, and rescue methods has changed, Signal 22 has evolved
also. Signal 22 now has a support
unit which is being used as “Rehabilitation Unit” (rehab unit). This unit will be responding with a
10’x10’ pop-up tent, two 60qt. coolers with water and Gatorade, four folding
chairs, and assorted snacks.
In the beginning Signal 22 only
responded to emergencies in the City of Trenton, and only offered coffee and
cold sandwiches. We have expanded our response area to include a 30 mile radius
of Trenton in New Jersey. We have
also expanded our choices of nourishments now to include water, Gatorade, hot
chocolate, hot coffee, fruit, energy bars, hot, and cold sandwiches.
Sincerely
John
Donahue, Chief
Signal 22 Canteen
