DCEMS had the distinct privilege of assisting with the official flag raising at the new @campingworld in Berkshire Township. The Stars and Stripes are now flying at the new facility off of Wilson Road near U.S. 36/SR 37, and the flag stretches 40 by 80 feet and weighs over 100 pounds. A team of 30 employees from Camping World carried in the flag, escorted by the DCEMS Honor Guard before it was hoisted and flown at full staff.
It was an honor to participate in this exercise, and we are excited to welcome Camping World to our community.
We need to give a huge shout out and thank you to our partners at our 911 center, Delcomm, for the incredible work they did this past Friday and over the weekend during the inclement weather.
During the peak of the wind, the dispatchers and call takers took over 600 calls over 6 hours, roughly 50% of those were 911 emergencies. They did an expert job of communicating with our crews and others while keeping track of everyone. They had back-up systems to their back-up systems ready should they need them.
The talent, the heart and the dedication of the people who sit at these desks are second to none, and our community is better because they are here for us.
Community engagement in action - This was just an exercise.
Over the last 3 weeks, DCEMS had the opportunity to teach several high-school students as part of the Sunbury Home Educators co-op program. Week one`s class featured hands-only CPR, week two featured first aid and bleeding control, and week three (pictured) were hands-on scenarios featuring moulaged actors. It was a useful opportunity for the students and a great opportunity for our clinicians to interact with, and introduce our profession to this group.
We appreciate the invite, we are thankful for the opportunity, and we are really thankful for our clinicians who made this a reality!
