It's national police week, so let's give it up for the guys with the handcuffs and bad coffee that keep our county safe. Big thanks to our daily heroes the Ritchie county sheriff’s Dept, and the WVSP for keeping the good fight going. We're rooting for you, we back the blue daily. But honestly, who's the genius who scheduled Police Week before EMS Week, don’t we save you all daily?

For the month of April we had 156 calls, and our ambulances have been turned into mobile bug bars due to bug season, and now that May is here, warmer days and even more squashed bugs are on the way.

Here are some tips, tricks, and pointers for the warmer months that we hope show up soon!

Avoid strenuous activity during peak heat hours (usually 10 AM–4 PM)
Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and sunscreen

Never leave children or pets in parked vehicles—even for a short time

Check on elderly neighbors and those with medical conditions
Use caution when swimming—never swim alone and supervise children closely
Wear helmets and protective gear during outdoor activities like biking or sports
Be mindful of ticks and insects—use repellent and check for bites after outdoor time
Stay aware of weather conditions and be prepared for sudden storms

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Dave at Dave's Auto Repair in Harrisville. Upon inquiring about exhaust work for one of our trucks, we contacted them early this morning with plans to schedule an appointment for the following day. However, they accommodated us by allowing an earlier drop-off, and subsequently informed us that the work was completed ahead of schedule. Notably, when we proceeded to settle the invoice, Dave graciously declined payment. On behalf of our agency, we express our heartfelt appreciation for this generous gesture.
