Dix Hills Rescue Squad Paramedic Jim Brangan gives an intubation demonstration to a young visitor during the department's recent annual Open House held during Fire Prevention Week. About 500 visitors were treated to many activities and educational events including fire prevention, personal and home safety, car fire and extrication demonstrations, EMS Rescue Squad, Smokey the Bear, Suffolk Police K-9, New York State Forest Ranger, and the East Northport Fire Department Fire Safety Trailer, which teaches children how to safely escape their house in the event of a fire. Visitors had the opportunity to view all the department's apparatus and ambulances and to see firsthand the equipment that Dix Hills firefighters and EMT's use to protect property and save lives.
