June 30, 2011 (Spring Valley) -- The Mount Miguel Covenant Village has come to the rescue, helping to save the San Miguel Fire District's Tactical Paramedic program. The continuing budget crisis has impacted District funding for this critical program.
On June 17, representatives from the Mount Miguel Covenant Village presented the TacMedic team with a check for $5,000. This will help provide funding to allow the team to deploy with Law Enforcement SWAT teams under highly hazardous conditions.
