The goal of BCEHS is to arrive as quickly as possible, while ensuring the safety of patients, the public and employees. People can help paramedics in winter weather by: ✅ Clearing sidewalks and driveways ✅ Making sure your address is clearly visible and well lit. During the winter, dress for the weather and ensure your vehicle is well prepared, with winter tires, enough fuel and lots of wiper fluid. Consider delaying travel until conditions improve. #BC #BCHC #HelpUsHelp | Provincial Health Serv
