Berlin
EMS Participates in Farm Safety Day
Berlin
Area Ambulance recently participated in Somerset County's "Farm
Safety Day" on May 1, 2010, which was held at the Berlin community
grove. Paramedic Seth Forry was one of the presenters who explained farm
safety tips to the participants through a PowerPoint show. Ambulance 501
was also on site for participants to learn about and tour. The ambulance
crew also assisted in establishing a landing zone for the Conemaugh MedSTAR
helicopter, which served as the grand finale of the event. The event was
sponsored by the Somerset County Farm Bureau, the Pennsylvania State University
Extension Office, Conemaugh Regional Trauma Center and the Pennsylvania Farm
Bureau and was open to farmers, their families and the
public. Just over 100 participants attended the event, most of which were
children. Other stations at the event demonstrated how to use a fire
extinguisher, safety around animals, PTO device safety, pesticide hazards, and
other farm safety related topics.
