In the central Kenai Peninsula community of close to 400, the only emergency response station is the non-profit, volunteer-based Cooper Landing Emergency Services. The department runs off community donations of both money and time, in order to respond to car accidents, fires and other emergencies in the town, more than 45 minutes from the closest borough-managed fire station.
“It was super run-down and full of mold and nothing worked, the oven didn’t work, it was awful, but we were so happy to get it,” she said. This winter, CLES has 18 active volunteers — down from an ideal 25 to 30. But four are traveling out of the state right now, and most of the remaining volunteers work during the day and aren’t available, so the station operates off a much shorter on-call list.
