Join the Beacon Volunteer Ambulance Corps (BVAC) for the 6th Annual Community Education Safety Day & EMS Week Celebration on May 15th, 2022 at the Beacon Elks Lodge from 12-4pm. Several safety opportunities are in store for you.

Says Deborah CortesEMT-B and Vice President of BVAC, “This event was created to help educate the community on emergencies and get the opportunity to meet community members as well as they get to know us and other first responders around the county. Another goal is to make them aware of numerous resources that are out there and available for them in the county. We hold this event on the week of May 15th specifically each year because it’s EMS Week! We do take donations if somebody does want to donate. This event is free for persons of all ages and we’re hoping to see everyone out there!”
