EMS Week

The Salisbury Fire Department will be hosting several activities during the upcoming National EMS Week. This week is designed to set aside time to honor our EMS providers for the work they do on an every day basis. This week also allows them to focus efforts within the community for injury prevention and public information. The Salisbury Fire Department would like to welcome any and all visitors during EMS week and has provided an attached ‘Calendar of Events’ for the Week.

As highlighted on the Calendar, the Department will be having an Opening Ceremony at 10am on May 19^th at the new Fire Station #16 on Cypress Street. This will be followed by an ambulance/equipment demonstration, station tours, and blood pressure screenings. If you have a large group (10 or more) that would like a station tour on that day, please make contact with Acting Lt. Rob Frampton @ 443-614-1960. The Department has also scheduled a ‘Bike Rodeo’ for children 8-12 years of age, on Sunday May 17^th at Fire Station #16. The department will be offering two free CPR classes to anybody that is interested on Saturday May 23^rd as well. The first class will begin at 10am and the second will begin at 1pm. Please allow approximately 2 hours for the class. The class is designed to provide the ‘layperson’ with CPR instruction; this is not a ‘Healthcare Provider’ course. If you plan on attending (space is limited to 25 people per class) please register with Rob Frampton @ 443-614-1960.

The department welcomes EMS Week 2009 and looks forward to seeing you sometime during our festivities the week of May 17-23. Remember ‘We Are a Proud Partner In Your Community.’

Sincerely,

Richard Hoppes

Acting Fire Chief
