🚑 A New Chapter Begins for Lexington Fire Department EMS and Octavia Fire Protection District 🚑

At 12:00 a.m. on July 1, Lexington Fire Department officially began providing Ambulance Service for the Octavia Fire Protection District, marking the beginning of an exciting partnership dedicated to delivering high-quality emergency medical care to the residents of the district.

When the clock struck midnight on July 1, LeRoy Ambulance 3N33 signed off and went out of service, returning to their home station, and Octavia FPD Ambulance 3N29 officially went into service, marking the seamless transition to Lexington Fire Department EMS coverage.

We are proud to recognize the very first crew to provide coverage under this new contract:

Part-Time EMT Dawn Wilson
Full-Time EMS Supervisor Bobby Kelly
Full-Time FTO/EMT Cody Kelly

Their professionalism, dedication, and commitment set the tone as we begin this new chapter of service.

This partnership represents more than expanded EMS coverage—it reflects a shared commitment between the Lexington Fire Department and the Octavia Fire Protection District to provide dependable, compassionate, and high-quality emergency medical services. We are honored to have earned the trust of the Octavia Fire Protection District and look forward to serving the community for years to come.

Please join us in congratulating Dawn, Bobby, and Cody on being the first crew to represent Lexington Fire Department from the Colfax Station, under this new partnership.

We are excited for what the future holds and remain committed to providing exceptional service whenever and wherever we’re needed.

On A Minute’s Notice. 💜🚑🩶
