Northeastern Pennsylvania’s Regional EMS Education Coordinator, Robert Carpenter, says there’s a lot on his mind when a snowstorm is in the forecast, especially the safety of first responders.

“They’re gonna be out there working in the snowstorm. They will take care of patients, go in the crashes,” said Carpenter. “If there’s fires they’re going out to fires, so they have all of the you know the snow to overcome, the other vehicles on the road overcome. And, you know, their safety, of course.”
