Congratulations, Khristeen Sproul!

Canandaigua Emergency Squad is proud to congratulate Khristeen Sproul, Volunteer Paramedic/NP, on successfully completing the Certified Ambulance Documentation Specialist (CADS) course!

The CADS program represents a proactive approach to strengthening EMS documentation, helping ensure patient care reports are accurate, complete, compliant, and effectively support both patient care and the reimbursement process.

Khristeen continues to demonstrate an incredible commitment to EMS, education, and our organization. In addition to serving our community as a Volunteer Paramedic, she is also a regional EMS preceptor, CPR instructor, our Volunteer Coordinator, and a member of our Billing Review Team.

Her dedication to mentoring providers, supporting our volunteers, and helping improve documentation and quality throughout our organization makes this certification a great addition to the many ways she contributes to our agency.

Congratulations, Khristeen!

Our Annual Fund Drive Is in the Mail!

Canandaigua Emergency Squad’s annual fund drive has officially gone out in the mail. If you live within our service area, you should be receiving it soon — if you haven’t already! This includes our Divisions of East Bloomfield and Naples Ambulance.

As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, Canandaigua Emergency Squad relies on revenue generated through service billing and, just as importantly, the generosity of the communities we proudly serve.

Unlike many emergency service organizations, we do not receive municipal tax funding. Donations from our residents and community partners help us continue investing in lifesaving equipment, training, education, and the resources our crews need to provide high-quality emergency medical care every day.

We are incredibly fortunate to maintain strong working relationships with numerous fire departments, hospital systems, municipalities, and other healthcare partners throughout a majority of Ontario County. While we work closely alongside these organizations every day, Canandaigua Emergency Squad remains a completely independent nonprofit EMS agency.

Every donation, regardless of size, makes a difference and directly supports our mission of serving our communities when they need us most.

If you receive our annual fund drive letter, please consider making a donation to Canandaigua Emergency Squad.

Here is also a link to some online donation options: https://www.canandaiguaes.org/donate.html

Thank you for your continued trust, generosity, and support of our crews and our mission. We truly could not do what we do without the communities we serve.

***Air Quality Alert***

Smoke from the ongoing Canadian wildfires has moved into our region, resulting in reduced air quality across Ontario County and the Finger Lakes.

Even if you don’t smell smoke, the tiny particles in the air can affect your health—especially if you have asthma, COPD, heart disease, are pregnant, are an older adult, or are very young.

To help protect yourself:
🚑 Limit prolonged outdoor activities, especially strenuous exercise.
🏠 Keep windows and doors closed when possible.
❄️ Run your air conditioning on recirculate if available and replace dirty HVAC filters.
😷 If you must spend extended time outdoors and the air quality is poor, consider wearing a properly fitted N95 respirator.
💧 Stay well hydrated and monitor for symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest discomfort, or irritated eyes and throat.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Check in on elderly neighbors, family members, and anyone with chronic heart or lung conditions.
🐕 Don’t forget your pets—they can also be affected by poor air quality. Keep walks short and provide plenty of fresh water.

If you experience severe difficulty breathing, chest pain, confusion, or other signs of a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

The Canandaigua Emergency Squad encourages everyone to stay informed by checking the Air Quality Index (AQI) and taking precautions as conditions change.

Stay safe, take care of one another, and we’ll be here if you need us. 🚑

It is with profound sadness that the Canandaigua Emergency Squad announces the passing of EBVA Lieutenant Alex Brown, the beloved son of Captain Gina Smith and stepson of Bill Smith.

Alex embodied the true spirit of volunteerism. He never hesitated to step forward whenever someone needed help, regardless of the situation or the time of day. Whether it was responding to an emergency, lending a hand behind the scenes, or simply providing a listening ear after a difficult call, Alex was always there for others.

If you knew Alex, you likely heard him ask, "Where can I help?" or "What can I do?" Those simple questions perfectly reflected the kind of person he was—selfless, dependable, and always looking for a way to make someone else's day a little easier.

Beyond his service, Alex will be remembered for his kind heart, generous spirit, and the positive impact he made on everyone fortunate enough to know him. His absence will be deeply felt throughout our organization.

Our hearts are with Gina, Bill, and the rest of Alex's family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.

Gina, thank you for sharing Alex with us. His compassion, dedication, and willingness to serve made our organization and our community a better place. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy of service and kindness will never be forgotten.

Today, the EMS community mourns the loss of Randolph Mantooth, best known for his iconic portrayal of Firefighter-Paramedic John “Johnny” Gage on the television series Emergency!

For many, Emergency! was simply a television show. For Emergency Medical Services, it was so much more.

When Emergency! premiered in 1972, the concept of paramedics providing advanced medical care before a patient reached the hospital was still relatively new. Through Johnny Gage, Roy DeSoto, Squad 51, and Rampart General Hospital, millions of Americans were introduced to prehospital emergency medicine.

The show brought paramedicine into living rooms across America and demonstrated that lifesaving care could begin long before a patient arrived at the hospital. It highlighted the importance of trained EMS professionals, advanced life support, medical direction, and a coordinated emergency response system.

Emergency! did more than entertain — it educated, inspired, and helped change the public’s understanding of emergency medical care. Generations of EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, nurses, and physicians have credited the series with inspiring their careers in emergency medicine.

Randolph Mantooth’s commitment to EMS did not end when the cameras stopped rolling. For decades, he remained a friend and advocate of the fire and EMS communities, honoring the pioneers who built our profession and supporting those who answer the call every day.

For those of us who serve in EMS today, the legacy of Emergency! can still be felt.

The equipment has changed. The medicine has advanced. The ambulances look different.

But the mission remains the same.

Answer the call. Care for the sick and injured. Be there when someone needs you most.

Randolph Mantooth helped tell the story of a young profession finding its place in American healthcare and inspired generations who would carry that profession forward.

From all of us at Canandaigua Emergency Squad, we extend our condolences to his family, friends, and countless fans.

KMG365, Clear.
