National EMS Week - May 20-26, 2018 is the 44th annual National EMS Week.
It’s about so much more than lights and sirens. It’s about giving the most of ourselves in the name of helping others. It’s about being there for people when things go wrong—and doing our part to help make sure things go right. It’s about supporting each other when things get tough, and being there for our communities when they look to us for help. It’s about being in service to others, every day.
EMS STRONG
Plainfield Fire Protection District is here to serve you every hour of every day. No matter what your emergency: fire, medical, water rescue, technical rescue, hazardous materials and others, we are prepared to respond. We will be here for you any time you need us.
Not only are our highly trained firefighters and paramedics here to respond to your emergencies, we are here to provide public education about fire safety, CPR, using a fire extinguisher or assist with the installation of your child car seat and other helpful and lifesaving skills that you might call upon in a time of need.
One of the best things you can do for you and your family or a shut-in neighbor is to check those smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors monthly and practice your Exit Drill In The Home (EDITH) plan with your family members. Call 9-1-1 for any emergencies but for general inquiries or non-emergency assistance please don’t hesitate to contact us at 815.436.5335.
