Recess is great fun!

It is rare that an adult gets to have recess. I did today and will get to do so for the next couple days. This is EMS week and I am one of the Pullman Firefighters going to elementary schools to teach the first graders about us and the ambulance. Today we went to Franklin. I was one of the classroom guys. With VanNess we talked about several things including how to dial nine-one-one and what we do. Outside Wakeman and Keeton showed the kids some equipment and toured the ambulance.

After the class was done we went to lunch with them and sat with them. Then after lunch we went to recess. Today I played wall-ball with the kids. It was fun to get out there and play. I have not done that in ages. Wall-ball is pretty much the same as it has always been, except there is no penalty for getting three strikes. No lining up on the wall and getting beaned with the ball.

We also had training tonight. It was our normal OTEP training. We covered heart conditions. It was a good class. It is part of the new material that the Region-Nine EMS has developed and certified with the state.
