It was a beautiful fall morning at Eddie’s Rise 'n Dine for their Touch-a-Truck event! While calls had both our trucks taking turns coming and going, we enjoyed getting to show our ambulances and visit with everyone.

We are always happy to help, and know we can call on Washington County Ambulance when we need a hand as well!

Thanks to our friends from CC, Skippy and "the Doctor" for coming down to run a 911 call for us yesterday. They came down to assist when we had multiple calls at once. We will be sure to assist with a photo op of our own sometime. LOL

We love a story with a happy ending! Great job to those who did not hesitate to start CPR and undoubtedly saved this girl's life!
