Echo Hose Ambulance in Shelton to mark 75th anniversary Friday at Riverwalk

 

Echo Hose Ambulance in Shelton to celebrate 75th anniversary

Opening Band: Chuck's in London taking the stage at 6 p.m. and the headliner band Mullet takes the stage at 8:30 p.m.

We are excited to announce that the evening will feature live music from the popular 80's rock band, Mullet! 

Get ready to dance and sing along to your favorite hits from the era. 1988 was an important year for Echo Hose Ambulance. The City recognized the community was growing and a free-standing EMS facility would be important to support the growth of the City. 

In 1988, the City of Shelton built the EMS headquarters at 100 Meadow St. where the service responds when dispatched to almost 7,000 emergency calls annually.

This event is our way of saying thank you to the community for your ongoing support. We welcome you to come and enjoy the festivities and help us celebrate 75 years of service to the City of Shelton. 

Feel free to bring a picnic basket, your family, and friends along for a night of entertainment. Food and refreshments will be available for purchase from our local businesses.

Join us as we celebrate 75 years of Echo Hose Ambulance's service and dedication. Let's make this a night to remember together!

A special thank you to our friends at the Valley Community Foundation for awarding Echo Hose Ambulance with a $1,000 grant to help support this free community event.

Echo Hose Ambulance in Shelton to hold emergency management class

SHELTON - Echo Hose Ambulance-Shelton EMS, 100 Meadow St., will hold an emergency management class for caregivers from 1-5 p.m. Sept. 20.
This free course was developed to help caregivers in both in-home and facility care arrangements better reduce the vulnerability and risk of senior citizens in their care, and to help caregivers plan and prepare for their disaster response requirements.

The course material will familiarize participants with the wide range of unique vulnerability factors associated with senior citizens in relation to disaster events, and explain the dynamics behind how each of these vulnerabilities affects the ability of senior citizens to take more effective risk reduction and hazard preparedness actions (and to otherwise survive disaster events).
Participants will be introduced to the full range of hazards that typically lead to major disasters.
Participants will also learn how to identify potential hazards and discover different solutions that may be taken to address these risks.

Caregivers will also learn about senior citizen social networks, vulnerabilities, and how to build disaster resilience.
Finally, an emphasis on conveying basic risk communication with senior citizens will be discussed.
