The Town of Concord’s Fire/EMS Department has donated six PAPRs (powered, air-purifying respirator) and accessories (batteries and chargers) to Emerson Hospital to aid in their fight against COVID-19. The Department’s PAPR is compatible with Emerson’s machines and filters and will provide additional support to the hospital.
