Pictured (l to r): Lakes Region Supervisor Ben Wasmund, Representative Jeremy Kalin, EMT Thea Polzin, and EMT Lorie Dixon.

Polzin and Dixon were one of the first ambulance crews on the scene Aug. 1, and Wasmund acted as a response coordinator for much of the evening. For more on the presentation see next week's print edition of the Post Review.
