Your child should stay on the line until the dispatcher tells you to hang-up. Trained paramedics and police are ready to respond to your emergency within 4 minutes of your call. Fire Department personnel can present a basic first aid class to Cub Scouts or other interested groups.
Topics can include bandaging an open wound, splintering a limb, burns, and choking.
