2 Thursday, October 12, 2000 Emergency Staff Peddle Services By Amy Dobson Staff Writer Emergency services personnel flocked to a local park Wednesday, but it was hardly a state of emergency. As part of National Fire Prevention Week, the Chapel Hill Fire Department hosted Life Safety Day at the Chapel Hill Community Center. Assistant Fire Marshal Rodney Watson organized the event, the first ever in Chapel Hill. He said he hopes to host Life Safety Day annually. “We want to make the public aware of the emergency services out there,” said Watson. “It goes way beyond the fire depart ment” People representing various careers in emergency services, including fire fighting, came out to educate the public Cood Order From or Visit our menus y oUr iviood —mrnm lUrneei 942-7678 orwww.tarheeltakeout.com Hours: "T NOW ACCEPTING s v m s: UNC one cards Friday-Saturday (15% surcharge 11:00am -11:30pm ——f or ONE card orders) (Restaurant Hours May Vary) wJP^r Watch this weekend’s game with us! | | We deliver tor over 30 Restaurants! a KA^TJa na sd&aL niammmtmni CkSfnqa BANDJDO* llttlrill A rSff Mexican Cafe bgAjSlP*’*!! g\ durbar *aw3jis fte W s 'ESP Jg: Pt taA rmtmuLM—.

They don’t even remember their ride in the ambulance. ” Scott Wilder Paramedic Parents watched as their children aimed a fire hose at a mock window, pretending to put out a fire. “Look at the water go through the window!” said 5-year-old Stacy Williams of Carrboro. “This is fun!” Emergency medical technicians and paramedics were on hand to take chil dren into the ambulance and answer questions about emergency medical sit uations. Paramedic Scott Wilder said he wanted to let peo ple know about his job. He said he doesn’t want peo ple to be afraid of calling 911. “Most emergen cies involving col lege students involve alcohol,” Wilder said. “They don’t even remember their ride in the ambulance.” Staff SgL Steve Byrnes drove up from Fort Bragg to represent the U.S. Army, bringing an assortment of weapons ranging from a homemade bomb to guided and projectile missiles. “The Army is fairly hidden from the public eye, especially during times of peace,” Byrnes said. “But we work hard every day, responding to bomb threat City calls, finding explosives and doing train ing exercises.” Brandon Chase of Chapel Hill visited the Army exhibit, looking up at Byrnes, who towered over the 7-year-old. “Do you shoot these things off planes?” he asked. “I want to be a pilot when I grow up.” Manager of Chapel Hill Community Center Lisa Baaske said she was happy the community center could provide its park for such a noble cause. “Life Safety Day was at first going to be in our gym,” Baaske said. “Everyone’s happy that the lovely weather let us spend the afternoon out side. “The only problem is that none of the children in our swimming lessons class es want to go inside and swim.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.
