๐๐๐ EMS Week may be over, but weโre still reminiscing ๐๐๐
Every year during EMS Week (celebrated this year from May 17-23), we recognize the EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, instructors, volunteers and support personnel who help keep our communities safe. ๐จโค๏ธ
One of the highlights of our EMS Week was getting the opportunity to visit Farmingdale Elementary School! ๐๐ซ
A huge thank you to Ms. Arrigo for inviting us to spend part of our Friday with the students. From learning about ambulances ๐ to seeing EMS equipment up close ๐ and asking some fantastic questions ๐ค, the students kept us on our toes and made it a fun and memorable visit.
Special thanks to Lieutenant Arrigo and the Friday crew for taking time out of their day to represent our squad and show the next generation what EMS is all about. ๐๐โญ
Who knowsโฆ maybe among those students was a future EMT, nurse, firefighter, doctor, dispatcher or public safety professional. ๐๐ฅ
And of course, thank you to all of our members, past and present, as well as our friends and partner agencies who help make EMS possible every day. EMS Week may only come around once a year, but serving our community is a 24/7, 365-day commitment. ๐จโค๏ธ
