The Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) of Broken Bow invite everyone to celebrate EMS week. The dedicated emergency responders and medical staff of our community are hosting EMS Night on Monday, May 20 at the new Broken Bow Fire Station (behind Dollar General), from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.
EMS night is an opportunity to meet the great EMTs of Broken Bow and take a look at the ambulances, medical helicopter, and other equipment. Food will be available and attendees can register for raffle prizes such as a helicopter ride (must be 18 years or older), a family pass to the Broken Bow pool, and more.
This will be a great opportunity to meet with EMTs, check out some of the equipment used in ambulances, and look around the fire hall.
“We set aside a day to have an open house so people can come see us. Come see the ambulances and just kinda get a feel for what we do and maybe, hopefully, get some interest in future EMTs,” said Kim Clay, Emergency Medical Service Treasurer and instructor.
Clay also said that there will be stations set up so that those who attend will be able to learn more about first aid and CPR.
“It’s very important that people recognize right away that there is a problem and call 911 and having the knowledge to know what to do is really important.” Clay continued, “Knowing how to start CPR and what to do is very important to potentially save somebody’s life.”
