Educating the general public and our fellow emergency responder colleagues in First Aid and CPR is a Priority at Macungie Ambulance Corps. Everyone plays a part in the EMS system. In fact, citizen responders are the first and crucial role in the EMS system. Ideally, everyone should complete basic first aid training in order to provide critical help in any emergency. The very first link in the chain of survival is the activation the EMS system, by calling 911, or instructing a bystander to call for help. The sooner the EMS system is activated, the sooner more advanced emergency care arrives. This increases the chances of recovery and survival.
