Update:They are now on Montevallo Road(Hwy25) between Walnut St. and the Brad Johnson memorial bridge over 82.

Attention drivers, exercise extreme caution on Walnut Street between Dollar Tree Shopping Center in Brent and River Bridge due to paving work blocking lanes. We have responded to two accidents in this area today. Please be aware of vehicles jumping into blocked lanes, and exercise caution when turning. Additionally, reduce speed when approaching workers and emergency personnel. When encountering a wreck at a traffic light, follow the instructions of fire or law enforcement personnel controlling traffic flow, as they supersede the normal traffic signals. Yelling and obscene hand jesters are not doing anyone any good. Your patience and cooperation are appreciated, and we urge everyone to prioritize safety to ensure a safe journey home. This construction will be going on for awhile. So please adjust regular travel route to avoid the area if possible.

Happy EMS Week!

To every EMT, paramedic, dispatcher, firefighter-medic, flight crew member, ER tech, and the countless support staff who run toward the chaos when the rest of us run away—thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.

This week isn't just another checkbox on the calendar. It's a chance to pause and truly see you. The ones who crawl into mangled cars at 2 a.m. on rain-slick highways. The ones who hold a terrified child's hand while starting an IV. The ones who deliver the worst news a family will ever hear with gentleness and dignity. The ones who carry the weight of every call long after the shift ends.

You see people on their absolute worst days—broken, bleeding, panicked, grieving—and you meet them with steady hands, calm voices, and compassion that never seems to run out, even when your own tank is on empty. You miss birthdays, holidays, school plays, and anniversaries because someone else's emergency doesn't wait. You come home smelling like diesel, blood, and sweat, too wired to sleep, knowing tomorrow you'll do it all over again.

You've carried strangers who became some mother's son, someone's grandfather, a little girl's hero. You've brought people back from the brink when science said they shouldn't be here. You've held the line between life and death so many times that the rest of us almost take it for granted—until it's our loved one on the stretcher, and suddenly we understand what you really are: real-life guardian angels in turnout gear and tactical boots.

The job asks everything of you. It takes pieces of your heart, your sleep, your peace of mind. And still, you show up. Day after day. Night after night. In blizzards, heat waves, pandemics, and everything in between.

So during this EMS Week, we want you to feel seen. We want you to know that your exhaustion matters. Your sacrifices matter. The quiet moments when you cried in the ambulance bay after a pediatric arrest, or laughed with your crew at 4 a.m. just to stay sane—those moments matter. You matter.

To the rookies just getting started and the veterans with decades of scars and stories: thank you for answering the call when the world needed you most. Thank you for every life touched, every family comforted, every second chance you helped create. We couldn't do what you do. Most people can't. That's why you're extraordinary. Today and every day, we honor you, we appreciate you, and we pray for your safety. Keep fighting the good fight. We've got your back.

Happy EMS Week—with all the gratitude in the world.
