New Radio System Planned- Fall 2004 Installation began this fall for the first ever island-wide radio system for St. John Rescue. The goal of the major radio project is to drastically improve communications across the islands rough terrain, and to reduce 'dead spots' where radio and other communications are traditionally difficult at best. This required raising $55,000 for the inital equipment and significant cooperation with the National Park Service, Virgin Island Government agencies and private individuals on multiple islands. Permission was granted by the Ministry of Communications & Works of the Government of the British Virgin Islands to install communications equipment (repeaters) for emergency purposes on CCT Boatphone towers in the BVI. A two-way relay site was approved to reflect signals to/from the established St. John Rescue central repeater site on Mamey Peak on St. John from the CCT tower on Yost. .

Coral Bay Vehicle Preparations Underway - January 2004 St. John Rescue members are prioritizing their efforts to ready Rescue-2 for deployment in the Coral Bay area. As there are no ambulances stationed in Coral Bay, Rescue-2 is being retrofitted to provide transportation in emergency situations where minutes count. When originally donated to STJ Rescue, Rescue-2 was a termite ridden, unsafe vehicle that was on it's last legs. The efforts of members, friends and other volunteers have brought new life to the vehicle! Click on photo for more pictures |
