FUEMS Haunted House!

On Saturday, October 30 we hosted a haunted house as part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters event held on campus. There were approximately 30 children who came to our office for a little spook!

Sadly, I have no pictures to post of it.. :(

My favorite part was when some of the young boys went in with a "tougher than nails" attitude and came out clinging to one of the "Big Sisters," (who incidentally was scarred just as much herself).

The ghouls inside made about 5-10 kids cry, but everyone seemed to enjoy the day.

National Collegiate EMS Week

National Collegiate EMS Week starts next week.

We are going to be participating in National Collegiate CPR Day to kick off the week. On Monday at 7:00pm we are going to have a general familiarization/information session about CPR for members of the Fordham community who are not FUEMS members. While it will not be a certification process, we will take the time to familiarize the laypersons with the basics of CPR and how they can be most helpful in cardiac/respiratory arrest.

Additionally, we are working toward having actual CPR trainings offered through the organization soon.
