This EMS Week, we proudly recognize and honor the dedicated Paramedics and EMTs who answer the call day and night, without hesitation.

Behind every siren is a team of compassionate professionals who sacrifice time with their families, work long hours, and face difficult situations to care for others during some of life’s most critical moments. Their strength, knowledge, calm demeanor under pressure, and unwavering commitment do not go unnoticed.

Thank you to our EMS members for the care you give, the lives you impact, and the difference you make in our community every single day. Whether responding to emergencies, providing comfort to patients and families, or standing ready when needed most, your service is truly invaluable.

Happy EMS Week to all Paramedics, AEMTs, EMTs, and EMRs. Thank you for all that you do! 💙🤍💙

This week, we proudly recognize and thank our Seneca County Dispatchers during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.
Behind every call is a calm voice, a steady hand, and a critical lifeline. You are the first to answer in moments of chaos, the link between those in need and the responders rushing to help. Your ability to stay composed, think quickly, and manage the unseen details makes all the difference.
Your dedication does not go unnoticed. Day in and day out, you serve our community with professionalism, compassion, and strength, often without the recognition you truly deserve.
From all of us, thank you for being the voice in the dark and the calm in the storm. We appreciate everything you do to keep our crews and our community safe.
Happy National Public Safety Telecommunications Week
Happy Dispatcher Week! 🚨💛

Our hearts are heavy as we reflect on the tragic loss of four young lives in our area. There are no words that can truly ease the pain felt by the families, friends, and all those impacted by this devastating accident.
We want to take a moment to recognize and thank the first responders who answered the call. In the face of unimaginable circumstances, you showed up with courage, professionalism, and compassion. Bascom Joint Fire District, Ohio State Highway Patrol, ODOT, Seneca County Water Rescue Team, Seneca County Sheriff’s Office, Tiffin EMS, Tiffin Mercy Hospital, the Seneca County Coroner’s Office, and all other assisting agencies, your dedication does not go unnoticed.
These are the calls that stay with you long after the scene is cleared. The strength it takes to do this work, to care for others on their worst days, is something most will never fully understand. Please know your efforts matter, and your service means everything to this community.
We also keep the victims and their loved ones in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. May they find comfort, strength, and support in the days ahead.

Today we remember and honor Lorrie a passionate and truly remarkable woman whose impact will be felt for generations.
Life led her down a path of service, and she answered that calling as a paramedic, dedicating over 30 years to caring for the communities of Sandusky and Seneca counties. In every call she ran, every patient she touched, and every life she helped save, Lorrie embodied compassion, strength, and unwavering commitment.
But her legacy extends far beyond the field. Lorrie was a teacher, a mentor, and a guiding force for countless students. Through her work with the Vanguard-Sentinel Adult Public Safety program, she helped shape the future of EMS teaching EMT and Paramedic courses, First Aid, CPR, and so much more. If you had the privilege of learning from her, you didn’t just gain knowledge, you were trained by one of the very best.
Even after retiring in 2023, Lorrie’s passion for helping others never faded. She continued teaching part-time at Penta, still giving her time, her knowledge, and her heart to those following in her footsteps.
Lorrie’s legacy lives on in every life she saved, every student she mentored, and every provider who carries forward the lessons she so selflessly shared. She made us better, better EMS caregivers, better teachers, and better people.
Rest easy, Lorrie. Your watch may be over, but your impact will never fade.
💙🚑 🤍
