Maybe YOU can be our next volunteer in the spotlight! VOLUNTEER NOTICE:
BCART Volunteers, we need all active volunteers to be compliant with the SART educational and other requirements as soon as possible. In order for all active volunteers to remain deployable, you must have certain requirements met.
All active volunteers need the County Photo ID tag that can be obtained by getting a photo taken or by contacting me to email a photo in. Many volunteers still do not have ID,or their required paperwork and/or educational courses completed.
If you no longer wish to be an active volunteer and do not wish to complete your requirements, please let us know and we can list you on inactive status.
Please Note!
There is a rule that reflective vests must be worn by CART personell if responding on Federally funded Highways! The vests can be worn over other regular vest/clothing if needed. For this function only, the Orange CART vest EMA supplies may also meet this requirement.There are 10 of these vests stored on each trailer.
