Subject: ICE: In Case of Emergency

 

This is a great idea!!!!  Pass it on!

 

Begin forwarded message:


As a volunteer Fireman and Rescue Medic (and just a plain caring person for
others) I'd like you to know that . . . . .

 

Paramedics will turn to a victim's cell phone for clues to that person's
identity. You can make their job much easier with a simple idea that they
are trying to get everyone to adopt: ICE.

 

ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. If you add an entry in the contacts
list in your cell phone under ICE, with the name and phone no. of the person
that the emergency services should call on your behalf, you can save them a
lot of time and have your loved ones contacted quickly. It only takes a few
moments of your time to do.

 

Paramedics know what ICE means and they look for it immediately. ICE your
cell phone NOW!

 

Please pass this one along.

Thought of the Day:   Why do you have to "put your two cents in" . . . but
it's only a "penny for your thoughts"?  Where's that extra penny going to?
