We got to see the ambulance and several different things that paramedics might use if the children were ever in an emergency situation. They showed us the machine that monitors your heart rate. Nevaeh tried it out and said it didn't even hurt!
The students got to go inside the ambulance and see many different things that might be used to help people in an emergency. Some things they recognized from home...rubber gloves, paper towels, etc...
Our class really enjoyed getting to meet these community helpers. This was a great opportunity for them to learn about emergency services in case they are ever in a situation where they would need them. We all hope that they aren't, but now they will know what to expect if they ever do have to ride on an ambulance and they won't be scared of all of the equipment. We even had them flash the lights and sirens so that they would know the noise that they make and what to do when they hear it.
Thank you Iredell County EMS!
