A BIG thank you to our Wellspan ALS partners who were kind enough to give our “rookies” on C-Shift their ALS Orientation to the chase car this afternoon. This included ALS chase car inventory, helpful tips and pointers in assisting them on incidents and a brief discussion on some BLS/ALS interventions.
Being able to assist all of our EMS agency partners benefits everyone, including the patient!

IAFF L5211 recently tried to help our next door neighbors raise money for a new roof by having a joint fundraiser event. Even though that event was canceled, the Local still wanted to honor its monetary commitment to them. Here, Local 5211 is represented by Robert Atkinson presenting a check to the executive director of the Waynesboro New Hope Shelter, Mandi for $500. We hope to continue our longstanding partnership with them to help
Provide valuable resources to our Waynesboro community.
