The Exeter Volunteer Fire Department has seen some changes
this year. Long time Fire Chief John Mueller notified the department he
would be stepping down from his position. In January, the department held
their elections and Ken Strate was elected Fire Chief.
Strate has been on the department for 16 years and his wife,
Hope, serves as the Rescue Captain for the department.
Strate is focusing on training for this year. “With
the way the state and federal laws are coming down we have to have more
certified in different fields to keep up with what they require.”
“We are here for the community as volunteers doing this
because we want to help and take care of the community . It’s tough being
a volunteer and having time to do all of the training we need to do. My
goal as the Fire Chief this year is to get the department to where it needs to
be and still provide good community service.”
Serving alongside the Strates’s are assistant fire chiefs
Dylan Axline, Nate Kahler and Alan Michl.
The department is looking at the possibility of replacing
the attack truck as a medium range goal and potentially a new rescue
unit. According to Hope Strate, “We just need some upgrades.
Internally it (the rescue unit)works fine but the wear and tear and the rust
are showing its age.”
One of the upgrades the rescue captain would like to see is
“a cot that automatically loads with no strain to the EMT’s but it is $25,000
to retrofit to our current unit. However, it makes it easier for three or
four people to do the job of five or six.”
Hope also serves as the training officer and reports that
the department is alternating training at their monthly meeting. One
month they focus on rescue training and the next month is fire.
“We’ve had everything from Burlington Northern who came and
did a presentation about how to handle situations with the trains, even how to
tell what’s in the cars, to refresher and newbie training on the SCBA breathing
apparatus training.”
This year the department has held storm spotter training in
multiple locations, had two house burns and hosted a Hazardous Materials
awareness class taught by the state fire marshal. Eight members of the
department went to fire school this year.
The department again hosted a summer weekend celebration
with the Sons of the American Legion in Exeter. The festival held
downtown included a car show, parade and evening meal which featured a polka
band. This year the department added a bake sale with a celebrity baking
auction which was very successful.

Exeter Volunteer Department Receives LUCAS Device
Exeter Volunteer Rescue Captain Hope Strate shows department
member Alan Michl (left) how the new LUCAS device works.
The Exeter Volunteer Fire Department recently acquired a
LUCAS device. It is an automated CPR device that hooks directly into the
AED used by the department in the rescue unit.
They applied for and received a grant through The Helmsley
Foundation. “They decided to give grants to Iowa, Nebraska and the
Midwestern states. States with more turn-around time in order to help the
providers,” explained Exeter Volunteer Rescue Captain Hope Strate.
The device, which retails at $25,000, runs on a battery
which can last up to 30 days. The department plans to charge it at each
fire meeting. They received the updated LUCAS 3 model for the Exeter unit.
An advantage to the LUCAS device over the auto-pulse the
department owned is, “You can use the LUCAS device no matter what the body
type,” according to Strate, “This is a game changer for anyone who has had to
do CPR in the field.”
She continued, “You deploy the device, slide the backboard
under the patient ahead of time, attach a neck strap and you will be impressed
with how rapid the compressions are.”
The battery will last for 20-30 minutes and primarily works
on adults. A plunger on the top of the device has to reach the chest of
the patient for the device to work.
The department hopes to purchase an additional battery
through the grant in the next few months.
According to the Helmsley Foundation, “Not only do the
portable LUCAS 2 devices provide more effective, consistent and uninterrupted
chest compressions, but they also deliver hands-free care, which means medical
personnel are free to address other injuries and conditions of the
patient.”
