🎉 Congratulations to Our Members!🚑

Today, we are proud to recognize two of our members for successfully graduating from the rigorous Paramedic Program offered by Pro EMS Center for MEDICS .

Over the course of this intensive program, they completed hundreds of hours of classroom instruction, practical skills labs, hands-on training, hospital clinical rotations, and field internships riding alongside experienced paramedics.

Balancing these demanding educational requirements with their responsibilities at home, work, and within our department required tremendous dedication, perseverance, and commitment. Throughout the program, both members demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a strong desire to continually improve their skills and knowledge.

Paramedics represent the highest level of pre-hospital emergency medical care we provide. They are trained to perform advanced assessments, administer life-saving medications, manage complex medical emergencies, and make critical decisions in some of the most challenging environments.

While graduating from the program is a major accomplishment, their journey is not quite complete. They must now successfully pass the National Registry Paramedic examination as well as the New Hampshire Protocol exam before becoming fully licensed paramedics.

Their achievement is a significant personal milestone and a tremendous asset to our department and the community we serve.

👏 Congratulations FF Trevor Chappell and FF Seth Butler, well done!

This week, we had the privilege of hosting Boston MedFlight's Complicated Airway Management Program (CAMP), intensive training focused on advanced airway management techniques for EMS and fire service providers.

Participants received hands-on instruction and simulation training in:

• Basic Ventilation Techniques
• Intubation Skills
• Difficult Airway Management
• Contaminated Airway Management
• Suction Techniques
• Cricothyrotomy
• Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) Simulation for Adult and Pediatric Patients

Training opportunities like CAMP provide providers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to manage some of the most challenging airway emergencies they may encounter in the field.

We were proud to train alongside personnel from Exeter Fire Department, North Hampton Fire & Rescue, and City of Portsmouth New Hampshire Fire Department. Our medical director, Dr. Grossman from Portsmouth Regional Hospital also joined us.

Thank you to Boston MedFlight for bringing this exceptional program to our region and for their continued commitment to advancing prehospital emergency care.

Advanced Care in Action – April Recap

April was another busy month for our EMS crews, with several high-acuity calls where advanced training, rapid assessment, and teamwork made a significant difference for our patients.

🚑 RSI / Advanced Airway Management
Crews responded to a patient who suffered a serious head injury after falling down six steps and striking their head, resulting in a suspected traumatic brain injury (TBI). Due to the severity of the injuries, the patient was intubated using Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) prior to transport.

❤️ Symptomatic Bradycardia / Complete Heart Block
Crews treated a patient experiencing a dangerously low heart rate caused by a complete heart block. The patient required cardiac pacing before being transported for implantation of a permanent pacemaker.

🫀 STEMI / Heart Attack
Crews identified a STEMI heart attack within the first 2 minutes of patient contact using a 12-lead EKG. The patient achieved a door-to-balloon time of just 39 minutes and door-to-reperfusion time of 61 minutes, both well below the national standards of 60 and 90 minutes.

🦠 Advanced Sepsis Intervention
Just six days after receiving approval to operate under our Advanced Sepsis Paramedic protocol, crews treated their first qualifying patient. Bloodwork was obtained in the field and broad-spectrum antibiotics were administered before arrival at the hospital, helping provide early critical care for a severe infection.

These calls highlight the advanced level of care Hampton Fire Rescue provides every day and the importance of ongoing training, strong hospital partnerships, and rapid intervention in medical emergencies.

We are incredibly proud of our crews and their dedication to delivering high-quality emergency medical care to our community.
