PKS EMS #65
PKS Squad #65 held its monthly
meeting April 4, at 7:00 p.m. at
Town Hall. A committee was formed
to plan activities for EMS Appre
ciation day to be held May 20, from
1:00 - 3:00 p.m. at Town Hall. Come
and meet your EMS Squad!
EMS Week will be the time to
meet and express our dedication
through all the training to give
the best service at our level of
training. If and when we have a
patient that needs a higher level
of training than ours, we will call
Atlantic Beach without delay. The
patient's well being is our
priority. "Get Em There Alive" is
our motto!
This month, the Squad recognizes
Lois Heffelfinger and Peggy Price
for all the hours they spent get
ting the new uniforms ready for all
members. We thank them for the ex
cellent job. Dedication!
A short remark regarding the ar
ticle in the local paper that was
an insult and upsetting to squad
members. Towns that want and have
an emergency medical service should
be responsible for what type of
squad is needed and the cost, paid
or volunteer! Morehead City, Beau
fort and Newport recently became a
paid squad. But, they still have
volvinteers which are needed. The
cost of a fully paid squad would be
a financial burden to any town.
We, Pine Knoll Shores, should be
ever so thankful for the volunteers
that give so freely and are dedica
ted to their duty as a member. Not
a hobby!!!
There is a time and need for
"Red Lights & Siren" ! I have asked
that our drivers respond with siren
and lights to emergency calls. EMT-
D's arrive on the scene before the
ambulances most times, and equip
ment needed is on the ambulances.
Hearing the siren is a great relief
to members waiting at the scene.
Regarding response time, I don't
think you will find a squad that
can beat our time. Within five min
utes or less, we have a member at
the scene doing the evaluation of
the patient.
The squad had 11 runs in March.
Call 911! PKS EMS will be there!!!
