News Release 12-32
Date: May 15, 2012
The Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department is making a special effort to reach out to residents in the community by hosting various activities at several county recreation centers from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, May 19, 2012, in support of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week.
This year’s theme is EMS: More Than a Job, A Calling. The theme reflects that EMS providers don’t choose the field for pay, comfortable working conditions, or nine to five work hours; they have a true calling to help and serve others in their hour of need.
Once again, partnering with the Park Authority, EMS providers will be available with various displays, educational materials for adults covering cardiac and stroke subjects, will provide blood pressure screenings, apparatus displays, and have one-on-one interaction with community residents. The following recreation centers are participating in EMS Week:
