Mburgh EMS Hand Out Roth ID Tags

MIDDLEBURGH - Members of the Middleburgh EMS were at the Breakfast with Santa  at Middleburgh Fire Department on Sunday and handed out Roth ID tags to many parents and children.

They had Hands only CPR Demo's and handed out over 60 Roth ID Tags which were purchased using money they received from the NYPA grant this year.

Roth ID TAGS are one of the first Universal Emergency Contact Identification Systems. They affix to a child's car seat, in the event of an emergency, the tags pulls from the car seat and becomes an emergency identification wristband . This system helps keep the family connected.  

They thanked the Middleburgh Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary for the invite to Breakfast with Santa. "We had a lot of fun, met some amazing kids," they said.

The Roth tag was developed after a mother and her unborn child were killed in an accident leaving two other children alive but without medical information.

Staffing the table Sunday were Sigrid Wood, Reily Murphy and Tracy Pierce.
