We were so excited to see this design come to life! Building strong relationships with community organizations and members is key to making what we do successful.

Be sure to watch for one of our newest ambulances this summer in parades and other community events as well as at football games this fall!

Each day of National EMS Week 2026 has a theme, a today’s theme is EMS and children. FCAS had the wonderful opportunity to go visit the kindergarten class and read them a book about EMS and then the next day the kindergartners came to visit us at the ambulance garage. We got to show off our ambulances, talk about the equipment we use while on a call and answered lots of questions! We talked through when you should call 911 and what questions the dispatchers would ask. We coordinated with our friends at the Public Safety Center to have each group practice calling 911 so they knew what to expect if they ever needed to call for help. We love being able to help educate people so that scary situations might be a little less scary. Huge thanks to Mrs. Schmidt for helping to coordinate and to Mrs. Leitch, Hunt, Schmidt, and McQuown and all their helpers for letting us come into your classrooms and bring all the students to the ambulance garage.
