Our annual Safe Kids Day kicked off at it's new location this year at Calvary Bible Fellowship Church in Lower Heidelberg Township.  Kids and parents that attended were treated to a wide variety of safety materials and displays along with the opportunity to win door prizes and receive free bicycle helmets.

On display were helicopters from three flight services; PennStar, MedEvac and SkyFlight Care were on hand to see and local fire companies attended to showcase their equipment.  Demonstrations by West Reading Police (K9 and Motorcycle demos), the Reading Police Bomb Squad, and a vehicle rescue presented by Western Berks EMS and Wernersville Fire were just a few of the various things for everyone to see.  Eddie the Eagle, Slapshot, Soupy the Ambulance and Patches the Firetruck were roaming the grounds greeting everyone.

 Western Berks Ambulance would like to thank everyone for attending and thank our hosts, Calvary Bible Fellowship Church, for opening their facilities for this very worthwhile event.
