HomeTowne Television and Summit Rescue Squad Co-produce A Video

The Summit Volunteer First Aid Squad (SVFAS) and HomeTowne Television® announced the co-production of a short video about the good works of the "Rescue Squad," as it is known to residents. The video will be shown on HomeTowne Television (Comcast Ch. 36 / Verizon Ch. 33) four times a day, following each of its news broadcasts, which begin at 7:00 and 11:00 AM and PM. This is the time of year when the Squad seeks comunity-wide support for its annual budget funded entirely from community contributions.

  

The SVFAS video is also intended to assist the Rescue Squad in its first-ever capital campaign.
