If someone is seriously hurt folowing a traffic collision, fall, having trouble breathing, heart attack or stroke – call 9-1-1!   If someone is breaking into a home, there’s a fire, or explosion – call 9-1-1!

Some people think they can avoid waiting in the lobby of the emergency room by calling 9-1-1…wrong.  If you’re situation is discovered not to be life threatening – you’ll be sent to the lobby area to wait your turn. 

Here’s a website to fully understand the proper use of 9-1-1:

A child is injured in a bike-related incident almost every two minutes. Whether your child uses a small bicycle with training wheels or a big kid’s bike, make sure he or she wears a helmet correctly on every ride. It’s the single most effective way to prevent a serious head injury from bike crashes.

Please click on the following website for information and a special video on how to properly fit a safety helmet on your child.
