    The Kiwanis Club of County Seat of Mineola presented a Pediatric Trauma Kit to the East Williston Fire Department.

    The Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Kit is a child-sized ambulance equipment kit that was compiled to meet most children’s on-scene emergency needs. The kits are donated to fire departments and ambulance services under the auspices of the local Kiwanis clubs in each community.

    A typical kit contains special equipment that ambulance personnel may need to properly care for a small child and a stuffed animal for the child. The ingredients of these kits are child-sized and geared for children from infancy to 18 years of age.
