West Mead 1 VFC is honored to participate in the Crawford Gives campaign!
This year we are raising funds to equip our emergency medical services responders, making them more effective in providing critical care to humans and pets.
This year includes a focus on pet rescue, outfitting our fire engines with a variety of masks appropriate for furry patients that need oxygen after being exposed to harmful smoke and carcinogens in a house fire.
When that specific need is met, the balance of funds will go toward first-in bags, AED (Automated External Defibrillator) pads, airways, and other emergency medical supplies that we use on our 120+ emergency medical calls each year.
