Students Learn About Real Life Safety Situations at 5/6 Center Safety Camp

Edmonson EMS Director Keith Sanders and school nurse Sherrell Thompson demonstrate first aid techniques during Safety Camp at the EC 5/6 Center.

Edmonson Voice Staff Report:
Edmonson County sixth graders got hands-on experience during the 5/6 Safety Camp today as local emergency and specialty professionals gave safety demonstrations on a variety of subjects.

Edmonson EMS, Chalybeate Fire Dept, the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office, Edmonson County Saddle Club, EC PAWS, Animal Control, and others were on hand to show the students how to handle various situations in several categories. 

Students enjoyed animal safety demonstrations with live horses while also watching the Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit "Tango" in action. 

The event is sponsored every year by the Edmonson County Family Resource Centers and Community Education.
