Behind the Lights & Sirens, Participating in Emergency
Services Week (March 12-18, 2000) was your chance to gain a different
perspective on how emergency responders do their job for us. Legislators,
staff and media were invited to participate in this special hands-on
emergency service experience.
Rides in a Pennsylvania-made fire truck Ariel platform were given.
It was a "uplifting experience. The Dauphin County Hazmat
team was on hand to give participants a firefighter's view of
how a thermal imaging camera works to help retrieve victims from
a smoke-filled room.
