Iam writing this comment because Iam Rescue Captain of Bolar Volunteer Rescue Squad in Bolar Virginia. We cover Southeren Highland and Northern Bath Counties. I live 14 minutes from on Station. I keep a VAOEMS Certified First Responder Unit at my house locked up and shore line plugged in. Where we live we have no cellular service and our radios are limited on the power that our repeaters can transmit on because of the NARO over in Greenbank, WVA. We are trying to get the board to realize the importance of saving lives, if our First Responder Unit could be equipped with a BLS Schedule 6 box. We have the temperature controlled unit, on Responder 9. When it is 45 minutes to 60 minutes before an epipen can be administered to a patient, and yes I have been in this situation before this ruling could save countless lives. Please help us help our community
