Watch, Listen & Learn: The Hospital Preparedness Program. Do we need volunteer Fire\EMS stations in our urban and rural communities.

The push for volunteer fire\ems stations in OUR RURAL and URBAN communities.  For our future leaders and our communities.

Can the hospital and healthcare system handle the full load during a mass casualty exercise, or real-world event.  When we should begin to reduce the load on the system for more serious injuries, and services.  We have to begin to help ourselves in our communities.

CPR, basic first-aid & buddy care, and volunteer Fire\EMS stations are a start.
