Richardson Ambulance Service was proud to be part of this year’s Kids Fire Camp with Saltville Fire Department! We had two EMTs and an ambulance on site and were thrilled to spend the day alongside such an amazing crew.

This camp is a fantastic opportunity for local kids to learn about fire safety, emergency response, and teamwork—all while having a blast. With so many fun activities planned, even the adult volunteers were smiling ear to ear!

A big thank you to Saltville FD for inviting us to take part. We’re grateful to support something that builds such strong community connections. 💪🚑

Wishing everyone a safe and reflective Memorial Day.
