Fulton, NY – Students in the CYO Summer Program at Catholic Charities of Oswego County were treated to a very special presentation as EMTs Dan Collins and Carl Evans, Jr. of Mentor Ambulance Service visited the CYO for a demonstration on safety and rescue techniques. The two addressed students on the various duties and responsibilities of an ambulance team and demonstrated the different types of equipment that are available to them for use in emergency situations. The students had the opportunity to learn how a heart monitor works, and witness a demonstration on the proper use of an emergency stretcher. Menter Ambulance primarily serves the southern and western portion of Oswego County as well as providing support throughout the county.
