A
Commitment to the Community We Serve
Northshore Ambulance works closely with local
police and fire departments to promote safety in the community.
Each year Northshore Ambulance is asked
to participate in mock car crashes. These demonstrations usually take
place at a local high school and involve drama students who
play victims
in the
crash. Everyone
involved acts as though it is a real event. The students in the audience
are able to see what happens at the scene of a serious car crash usually
due to drugs or alcohol. Hopefully, this will deter young adults from drinking
and driving.
Northshore Ambulance provides a private detail ambulance
for training with the Salem Police Dive Team, Beverly Fire Dive
Team and the United States Coast Guard in the event of an emergency
situation. Our experienced EMT's and paramedic's are ready to act
quickly.
