HRS attempts to host CPR classes monthly on a rotating basis in the towns across our region to ensure access to a wide range of audiences. While we receive many requests for individual/small business CPR classes in addition to our scheduled courses, our CPR instructional staff is small and limited in the number of offerings we can hold. We balance teaching with delivering our primary objective of providing emergency care and transportation. We encourage your assistance in ensuring the greatest impact from our trainings by filling our scheduled offerings to capacity.
Hazen 7th Graders Visit the Station
We had a lovely visit from a group of Hazen Union 7th graders and their teacher in April, as part of their community service day. We gave them a tour of the trucks, explained how they could get involved in EMS and then gave them a chance to practice some compression skills on our CPR manikins and some tourniquet and wound packing skills on the Stop the Bleed arms. Maybe some future HRS members in these ranks?
Have a question about billing?
People call the station all the time with billing questions that are better handled by the agency that manages the bills. Their name is EMS Billing Solutions out of Golden Cross Ambulance in Claremont, NH.

Home-Generated Sharps, Syringes, and Needles
To be safe and legal, dispose of home-generated sharps, needles, and syringes in this manner:
- Place sharps in an empty, rigid plastic container, such as a laundry detergent bottle.
- Tape the bottle’s cap shut with strong tape. Firmly attach a “Do Not Recycle” label to the bottle. You can print this sample label or call 802-828-1138 to request “Do Not Recycle” stickers for home-generated sharps.
- Dispose of bottle in the trash.
