Hoffman coordinating emergency
Health volunteers at Dashwood IPM
By Kate Monk
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
DASHWOOD
Expecting more than
30,000 people to attend
the International Plowing
Match each day, organiz-
ers need six emergency
health service personnel
on site at all times with
60 shifts needed to cover
the five-day event.
Under the direction of
Kevin Varley of the IPM
committee, Donna
Hoffman of Hoffman
Ambulance Service 'in
Dashwood is coordinating
the emergency, health
and safety services for the
IPM. She said Hoffman's
was chosen because it
was based in Dashwood,
near the IPM site.
Hoffman has sent letters
to the four ambulance
services in Huron County
seeking volunteers to pro-
vide emergency health
service at the match.
The shifts worked at the
IPM won't be associated
with the employee's regu-
lar place of employment
but Hoffman said there
"will be a structure to
meet expenses for each
shift worked."
Donna Hoffman, left of Hoffman Ambulance Service in Dashwood is coordinating
the emergency health service personnel for the International Plowing Match in
September. Her husband Jim, right, is the Dashwood Fire Dept. chief and will be
working on fire services. Hoffman ambulances are sporting the IPM logo to help
promote the event.
Hoffman hopes to get
enough volunteers from
the Huron County ser-
vices but if not, she will
look for help elsewhere.
She said so far people
have been saying they're
interested in volunteering
but can't commit to a spe-
cific shift because they
don't know when they
will be required to work
in September.
Hoffman will be coordi-
nating paramedics on site
and won't impact regular
ambulances services in
the area.
According to Hoffman,
requests for medical
attention at past plowing
matches have been rela-
