​Participant Testimonials

“This program helps not only equip the grieving but empower the preventable. Lieutenant Ritter connected seamlessly with the Evesham Fire Rescue crews that a comfortable and compassionate environment was quickly established. I’d liked to personally thank Ron, the Prevention Plus family, Evesham Fire Rescue, and the Township for making this training possible. I look forward to maintaining these relationships and getting just a little better each day.” (JH)
