St. Charle County FIRE REHAB Give STL Day

REHAB Operations

While we’re taking care of our ‘victims turned clients’, we have a prioritized focus on emergency crews working in dangerous, emotional, and often high-stress environments.

 - We take care of the core needs of our emergency crews on scene by providing hydration in the form of room temperature water, ice cold water and the most critical, Gatorade, that provides the essential combination of hydration with electrolytes – the best approach to keep muscles functioning properly while also maintaining fluid balance in the body. During colder weather, our on-board commercial grade ‘Coffee Machine’ is extremely popular – especially when mixed with hot chocolate.

 - Nutrition is a close second to restoring fire fighter hydration levels, so we provide a large variety of protein, carbohydrates, and salty based snacks to keep their internal engine going. If an incident goes over a mealtime, we have arrangements with local based charities that provide meal-based services and those are transported to the emergency scene.

 - And finally, we must strive, where we can to control the climates experienced during fire operations. Our canopies and torpedo heaters result in a ‘Heating Tent’. For extreme heat and humidity we have industrial misting fans and high weight bearing aluminum-based seating that creates our ‘Cooling Circle’.
