Berlin
Ambulance Celebrates EMS Week 2007
On
Tuesday, May 22, 2007, employees of Berlin Area Ambulance presented and EMS Week
program to students in grades K-4 at the Berlin Brothers Valley Elementary
School. During the hour long program students learned about EMS through a
PowerPoint presentation. The EMS crews also stressed the importance of
injury and illness prevention by offering many safety tips including topics such
as safety around the house, bicycle safety, pool safety, and proper hand washing
techniques. The students were also taught how to dial 911 in the event of
a medical emergency. After the presentation the students were taken
outside to the ambulance and allowed to walk through it to see what it was
like. The crews also distributed EMS related coloring and activity books
to the students. The Berlin Area Ambulance Association hopes that by
making the students familiar with the ambulance and the EMS crews, that they
will be less scared and know what to expect in the event of an emergency.
