The Sun Lakes Fire Department Community Assistance Program (CAP) recently graduated 10 new volunteers into their ranks. The new members will respond on SLFD calls attending to the practical and emotional needs of individuals in the community. Some of CAP’s most common calls involve providing transportation to family members to local hospitals, checking on the welfare of clients, providing support and referrals to available agencies, making phone calls and arrangements and giving grief support.
