Police & EMS Demonstrations

In another area, Polk State College’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program will stage their Team Day. Paramedic students will encounter a simulated crash scene and be tested on their emergency response skills. Other vehicles and demos from various fire and EMS agencies will also be featured at this area of Fallfest. Nearby, various police agencies will perform a variety of captivating demonstrations.
