RINOL’S By-laws

Municipal by-laws – Fire safety

First responders

First responders are designated individuals with specific training to intervene in emergency situations as determined in the intervention plan of the municipality of Arundel.

First responders are local residents who rotate on a schedule of availability to ensure that there is always an agent available to get to the scene of an incident. The first responder is, most of the time, the first person to arrive on the scene. His/her role is to accompany the victim until the arrival of regional or sub regional emergency services.

Service calls placed for first responders come from the Ambulance Dispatch Center (911)

The purpose for which a first responder service was established in our Village and region was to significantly reduce the time needed to provide primary care in emergencies.

Due to its rapid response, the first responder will assess the condition of the victim and stabilize him in order to prevent any deterioration of its vital conditions while awaiting the arrival of the ambulance or doctor.

The intervention of the first responder ends when the paramedical team is able to take over. However, it may happen that the first responder is asked to assist paramedics in certain situations.

Emergency preparations

In case of prolonged power outages, blizzards, rain and extreme wind or major accident/incident, it is important to be well prepared.

The fire department, municipal employees and first responders are part of the emergency measures committee.

A part of the preparations for emergencies is to educate people to take preventive measures necessary to ensure their well-being in the event of a situation that could disturb their daily lives.

You should undertake some preparations such as a plan in case of emergency, including an evacuation plan. You should be ready to take care of yourself and your family for a minimum of 72 HOURS.

To that end, you should prepare an EMERGENCY KIT containing most of the following items:

Battery operated or crank radio with extra batteries
Flashlights with spare batteries
Sleeping bags or blankets (one blanket or one sleeping bag per person)
Water for 3 days – a minimum of two liters of water per person per day
Food for 3 days – such as ready-to-eat canned food, energy bars and dried foods
Infant formula for nursing babies
Manual can opener
Portable stove and fuel (never use a barbecue indoors)
First Aid Kit
Candles and matches / lighters
Bunch of keys for car and home
Basic tools (hammer, pliers, fixed-aperture wrench, screwdrivers, work gloves, etc.)
Whistle (to attract attention)
A bit of cash in small bills and change for payphones
Cell phone or phone with buttons / automatic in case of power outages.
Important documents and personal identification
Clothing and footwear (one spare)
Prescribed drugs
Toilet paper and other personal hygiene supplies
Plastic garbage bags
Extinguisher in good condition and smoke detectors
Firewood
Generator (especially for sump pumps)
Plan for the specific needs of your family, such as extra provisions for:
- Babies and young children – diapers, etc.
- Children – some small toys, books, cards or games
- Seniors – required medicines
- Animals – dog food/cat shelter
In your car prepare a small emergency kit
