2017 Annual Report • Fire Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />27 | Page <br /> <br />For group tours of preschoolers and those in daycare settings, we ask that a call to the station be <br />placed well ahead of time in order to arrange our inspection schedules and other activities so as <br />to not interfere with the tour. For a small family tour, or those that may walk by the station and <br />the young one says, “Can we go see the fire trucks?” Please knock on our door and we would be <br />happy to grant you an impromptu tour if our schedule permits! Please remember that the two <br />firefighters who will be giving the tour are also on duty. If a call for service happens during <br />your visit, please know that we will have to cut the tour short and reschedule for another time. <br />The Fire Department also has been known to bring a truck to you if your group is of sufficient <br />size! Bringing a large number of children to the station isn’t always practical of course. In that <br />case we are willing to bring a truck out to you for a visit and walk through. This is the most <br />efficient way for large daycare facilities and grade schools who want to have a hands on <br />experience with the fire truck. As always advanced arrangements are greatly appreciated. <br /> <br />FILE OF LIFE <br />The File of Life program has been implemented for a number of years and <br />continues to be a highly useful program in times where efficient transfer <br />of information can be vital. <br />The program is very simple, yet a highly informative and useful tool for <br />us as a fire department in emergent medical situations. The program <br />consists of only two items: a red magnetic holder to be placed ideally on the refrigerator, and <br />the other being a 2 sided informational card that fits into it. The card lists all pertinent medical <br />information needed by the EMS system for the person or persons residing there. This has all the <br />information we would need, in a very simple layout, in order to make the emergent situation go <br />a little better for everyone involved. This is crucial medical information we need to gather for <br />the entire EMS system, especially if the person lives alone and is not able to communicate with <br />us. Having this piece of paper readily available saves time on scene and gets the patient to <br />treatment that much faster, and with the proper information passed on to who needs it most, <br />the hospital of choice for the patient.
