We had a great community appreciation event today and would like to thank everyone that came out.
Second to responding to emergencies, this is the best way to engage with our community, show our capabilities and enjoy some great food.
Here is a highlight of everything we covered today:
- We cut up a car demonstrating different techniques for rescuing patients trapped in a car.
-Everyone got to see thermal layering of smoke and why it’s important to stay low if you ever have to escape a burning building.
- We showed one of the ways we can rescue people from a second story window.
- Kids and adults had an opportunity to do fire extinguisher bowling while learning to properly use a fire extinguisher.
- The kids got to compete in a bucket brigade competition and use the hose line off our Brush Truck to spray water on a simulated fire.
-Lastly Enterprise Rescue provided a short demonstration on hands only CPR and ways you can help your friends and family during medical emergencies before we get there to help.
Overall, it was a great day, much thanks to Cool Springs Baptist Church and County Line Baptist Church for providing the food and cooking.
Sometimes it’s hard to imagine having an emergency where you need first responders. But, it happens regularly. Just remember in rural communities it’s volunteers that come knocking on you door and providing the emergency service you need.
Thanks again to everyone that came out today, we appreciate you.
