North Battleford EMS plan to educate community on safety procedures this week
EMS week kicked off on Sunday, May 22 and staff at the WPD branch of North Battleford believe the week is a perfect time to educate community residents on the proper procedures when it comes to dealing with safety standards, emergencies and accidents.
Jessica Stephens, operations manager for the WPD branch in North Battleford, said the list of upcoming events will assist those who wish to become familiarized with the correct emergency procedures, both at home and at an accident site. She said it will raise awareness and educate those who are curious about the ways in which the ambulance service provides safety for patients and victims.
“We really want to promote safety and this means having a safe community where everyone is involved.” Stephens said.
The WPD ambulance dispatch of North Battleford will be hosting the events in different locations around town this week, starting at their base with a free car seat safety clinic on Thursday, May 26 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The clinic will be able to shed light on how to properly seat children in different kinds of vehicles.
