Way to go Ryan!
Today the squad visited The Kid's House Nursery School in Pottersville and the Three Bridges School with our ambulances. Members explained the importance of when to call 911 and how they can help in an emergency while waiting for the ambulance. The visits concluded with everyone’s favorite, an ambulance tour and stickers!
Thank you to Readington Volunteer Fire Company for hosting this drill last night! It was nice for our crews to get some time to speak with the aircrews who we often only see briefly in during hectic situations. It also was a great reminder on proper procedures for transferring patients!
