In recognition of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week and the emergency medical providers within the our communities, the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District will be hosting our 3rd Annual EMS Open House this Saturday, May 29, 2010, from 12:00 noon - 3:00 p.m. at our Headquarters Fire Station located at the corners of West Algonquin and Pyott Roads in Lake in the Hills.   

 

 “You may never give it a second thought but we're here for you,” says Fire Chief Kevin Rynders. “When the unthinkable happens, Emergency Medical Professionals are standing ready to help you and your loved ones. Here in Algonquin and Lake in the Hills, we are lucky to be served by dedicated EMTs and Paramedics who give of themselves in many capacities to ensure that our lives are protected each and every day.”

 

Some of the activities planned for the Open House include the Flight for Life medevac helicopter from 12:00 noon – 1:00 p.m. as well as the Masonic Lodge sponsored Child ID Program. The Lake in the Hills Police Department will also be in attendance providing car seat safety checks and installations. Along with several educational opportunities for adults and kids alike, station tours will be given and refreshments will be served.  

 

Please come join us in celebrating our many EMS professionals and the job they do each and every day.
