Reeves EMS Lends a Hand to NYC's Bravest and Finest

ON MAY 15, 2010, REEVES EMS SPONSORED members of the New York City Police Department and Fire Department City of New York as they competed in this year's NYPD vs. FDNY rugby game.

The NYPD vs. FDNY rugby game is played each year to raise funds for wounded veterans, as well as honor those killed in combat. This year's game, which was held on Randall's Island in New York City, honored FF Christian Engeldrum and Officer James McNaughton, both of whom were killed while on duty in Iraq.

Participants also held a special ceremony to name Honorary FF Sgt Christopher Hrbek a member of the FDNY Veteran of Foreign Wars Post. Hrbek, who had been accepted to begin training with the fire department, was killed in Afghanistan earlier this year.

"We were extremely proud to sponsor members of the NYPD and FDNY who competed in this year's game," says A. Jon Prusmack, Reeves EMS manufacturer DHS Systems' founder and CEO. "The people who played represent some of the bravest, most hardworking people in New York City and we were thrilled to support them as they honored our troops."
