Benicia Emergency Response Training Teams, 300 strong and ready November 19, 2007, 7:30 AM Benicia now has nearly 300 BERT (Benicia Emergency Response Teams) trained volunteer members. The motto of the Emergency Response program is "Neighbors helping Neighbors." This successful program, sponsored and supported by the Benicia Fire Department, is one of the most active volunteer response programs in Solano County. The goal for Benicia is to have 500 active members ready to respond to any community disaster. BERT volunteers train on a quarterly basis and meet annually at a Muster. The video below this article provides a video view of the annual muster. Anyone interested in becoming a BERT member by going through formal training, can sign-up via the Benicia Citizen Core Council webpage: www.beniciaccc.org/. Constance Beutel, Ed.D.
