It's always our mission to provide exceptional pre-hospital emergency care. With that in mind, we want to share some broad differences in symptoms among the coronavirus, the flu and allergies, supplied by the CDC.
If you need to call 911 for help, please let them know what your symptoms are; that helps them keep everyone responding and in the chain of healthcare as safe as possible... So we can continue to answer your calls for help!

As we turn out the lights on the 94th BLE we want the class to know this is not goodbye but a beginning of not only your careers with your agencies, but a beginning for us to provide you the training and resources you will need to evolve and improve over years to come. 94 BLE graduation was postponed so they could get back to their agencies and communities to assist with the response to the current pandemic. As they begin their time on field training we reminded them to be safe, to be patient and to be humble and combine their newly learned skills with the experience and wisdom of their FTO to become the best officer they could be! 94, remember to maintain your appearance, control you attitude, use your aptitude to make decisions, know the actions you take matter and hold yourself to the highest levels of accountability. Maintain your Professionalism, Integrity, Compassion and Fairness, as a group you have made a positive impact on our staff and will be forever will be known as, “Hard Chargers!” Congratulations and God Bless!
