Civil Air Patrol's Woodfield Composite Squadron Gains First Responders
Cadets and Senior Members gain Certification after First Reponder training.
(PRWEB) March 2, 2005 -- Several members of the Woodfield Composite Squadron
in Schaumburg Illinois passed the State of Illinois certification tests to be
recognized as First Responders. Two cadets and two senior members attended
training classes alongside several members of the public at an event hosted by
the Melrose Park ESDA. A special thanks goes out to Chief Schwartz for
administering the practical exams after providing intense training.
The
Woodfield Squadron participants were 2nd LT Cynthia Wojtal, Cadet Jacek Muka,
Cadet Steve Greiman, and 2 LT Andy Seidler. These members are now better
prepared to be the first personnel to arrive at an emergency such as those the
Air Force Rescue Coordination Center might assign CAP.
The Woodfield
Composite Squadron has been in operation since 1992 and is based out of suburban
Chicago’s Schaumburg Regional Airport.
Civil Air Patrol, the official Air
Force Auxiliary, is a nonprofit organization performing more than 85 percent of
inland search and rescue missions in the continental U.S. as tasked by the Air
Force Rescue Coordination Center. Our volunteers take a leading role in
aerospace education around our community and serve as mentors to America's youth
through CAP cadet programs.
