We’re proud to announce a $4,000 grant to the Stratham Fire Department in support of a new Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) training program, developed in partnership with Epping Fire Department and Exeter Hospital.

This program will provide Stratham and Epping paramedics with the training needed for department-level RSI credentialing through the State of New Hampshire — giving both departments an important advanced airway management capability for patients experiencing severe or rapidly deteriorating conditions.

This project builds directly on our Fund’s previous $15,000 investment in Stratham Fire’s mechanical ventilator, which has already been put to use on multiple calls and helped pave the way for this next step in critical care training.

“Chief Maloney believed deeply in giving back, enriching his community, and inspiring the next generation to do the same,” said Tim Maloney, Vice President of the Chief Michael Maloney Memorial Fund. “Stratham and Epping’s collaboration on this program, and their partnership with Exeter Hospital, is exactly the kind of forward-thinking, service-driven work Chief Maloney championed.”

Congratulations to the entire Stratham and Epping Fire Department team on this exciting next chapter in advanced prehospital care. 

To our first responder community: if your department, agency, or team has a project that could use support, we encourage you to apply for a Chief Michael Maloney Memorial Fund community grant. We’re proud to invest in the people and departments who show up for our towns every day.
