| Under the direction of Troop Leader Christine Alfaro and Commissioner/EMT Melissa Lawlor, Pleasant Valley Girl Scout troop had an enjoyable visit at Pleasant Valley Fire District firehouse yesterday.
They were shown bleeding control and bandaging, splinting fractures, when to use an ice pack and when and the proper way to call 911. They were shown how to comfort a person who is hurt and ways to keep them calm, as well as the Heimlich Maneuver and how to find a pulse.
With the assistance of Pleasant Valley Fire District firefighters Martina Meyer and Jacob Gates, and Fairview Firefighter/EMT Shane Lawlor, they learned abut riding in the back of an ambulance.
They also were taught about the rescue/extrication tools and how we use them.
A fun day was had by all... |
