Emergency Ambulance Service provides ambulance demonstration for Brea preschoolers

BREA, California - April 25, 2002 - At the invitation of Brea Head Start, Emergency Ambulance Service (Emergency) provided ambulance demonstrations for over seventy preschool aged children in Brea on Thursday, April 25, 2002.

"The children were extremely excited that Emergency brought out their ambulance," said Program Director Deborah Wegenka.  "Ambulance workers are true heroes in our society.  Your employees were instrumental in helping the children understand that they shouldn't be afraid of the persons who care for them."

"The idea of teaching our children at a very early age what an ambulance is like certainly reduces their fears.  Our education program is vital to our community," said Tyler Shook an Emergency Medical Technician working for Emergency.

"After today's presentation, we have 70 potential future employees.  The fundamental impression these children gain may stir up their interest in joining the ambulance profession down the line," said Al Requejo, Emergency's human resource director.

"Our public education program gives our young people an inside look on how Emergency Ambulance Service operates.  It teaches them what happens when 9-1-1 is dialed, who responds, and how they get to the hospital.  It also teaches them to trust and respect emergency personnel," said Phil Davis, Emergency's President & CEO.
