The evening event featured immersive room scenarios, live EMS demonstrations, guided tours of a training ambulance, and opportunities to explore emergency equipment. Visitors also connected with workforce partners to learn about careers in emergency response. Two live scenario tours allowed guests to step directly into the types of high-pressure environments EMT and paramedic students experience during training.
