Broadcaster Press 7 May 22, 2018 www.broadcasteronline.com To all those whose office phone number is 9-1-1 THANK YOU, Vermillion Fire EMS Department National EMS Week May 20-26, 2018 The Knox-Box It's 2 a.m. The fire alarm in your building is ringing and the Fire Department responds. Rather than reaching for an ax to break down the door, Firefighters open the Knox-Box, remove entrance keys, and immediately enter your facility to search for the cause of the alarm. Eliminating Forced Entry Eliminating forced entry means no property damage and no replacement costs for broken windows and forced door frames or locks. It also means no flying glass to injure Firefighters. Reduced Emergency Response Time You arrive on site knowing that you or your representative did not have to get there before Firefighters could enter your building. The Fire Department has already determined that a small fire was contained by the sprinkler system. The reduced emergency response time meant immediate shut off of the sprinkler water supply resulting in minimal smoke, fire and water damage to your property. Knox-Box The Vermillion Fire EMS Department encourages the use of the Knox-Box. Presently many businesses including city facilities are making use of this Emergency Entry System. Starting at $165 this one time purchase may save the business or home owner much more and allow the Firefighters instant access to the property. Reasons to Install a Knox-Box • Eliminate needless, costly forced entry damage that may not be covered by your insurance deductible. • Assure immediate building entry by Firefighters without delay or waiting for building keys. • Protect inventory, equipment and supplies from unnecessary water damage caused by delayed sprinkler shut-off • Satisfy local fire codes and emergency access ordinances. • Feel secure about emergency coverage when your building is left unattended. The Fire Department holds the ONLY key to the Knox-Box. • Maintain building security after a fire alarm investigation by simply re-locking the undamaged door. • Protect your property from thousands of dollars in damage with this one-time, low cost investment. • Depend on the highest lock box security available with attack resistant, UL tested reliability. • Over the last 25 years, Knox-Box has been the chosen solution in 9,000 communities nationwide-communities like Vermillion.

Vermillion Community CPR On average, as of 2015, 383,000 people suffer from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year. When you break it down, that's close 1,000 people per day. Out of that surprising large number, 88% of them happen in your own home. That means, if you have to give CPR to someone, it will most likely be your child, friends, parents, or grandparents. Sadly, the survival rate for sudden outof-hospital cardiac arrest is only 8%. However, the chances increase significantly if the patient receives high quality CPR right away. What would happen if everyone was properly trained on how to provide good, effective CPR? With that question in mind, the Vermillion Community CPR program was created.
