EMS Toy & Collectables Display at The Pennsylvania National Fire Museum
Greetings from Pennsylvania! I wanted to share some news about a new EMS exhibit at the Pennsylvania National Fire Museum here in Harrisburg, PA. I thought you might share this information with all Pennsylvania EMS personnel so they too could come and see the exhibit.
I was contacted by the The Pennsylvania National Fire Museum and was asked if they could display my EMS toy collection at their museum for the next year. I have been collecting since my teen years and now have a chance to share my collection with the public. The exhibit kick-off will be in connection with Fire Expo at the Pennsylvania Farm Show this month on Friday May 15, 2009.
I started my collecting when I was a teen member of the Tri-Boro First Aid Squad in Butler, N.J. (1972) and continued to collect EMS toys and items from around the world while serving on active military duty as a Hospital Corpsman with U.S. Naval and U.S. Marine Corps forces. I retired from the military in 1999 and my collection has continued to grow with donations of toys and items from family members and my co-workers. There is a number of EMS toy vehicles from horse drawn to future concept EMS vehicles. Included in the exhibit will be some other EMS memorabilia collected over the years.
I have include the museum information below:

As a newly-licenced paramedic, I also agree that the current system is flawed. My clinicals alternated between extremely good and a few situations where I was the most-senior person on the truck...as a student. The problem isn't limited to the civ...
