🚨‼️ATTENTION TO ALL THAT RESIDE IN THE CITY OF HERNANDO!!🚨‼️

The City of Hernando has recently participated and worked with the Mississippi State Rating Bureau (MSSRB) with the intention of showing the capabilities of the city and its resources, which would result with the city’s fire protection rating dropping from the fifth class. The results are in and we are proud announce that the MSSRB dropped the insurance rating from the fifth class to the fourth class rating. This is great news! Any insurance contracts that cover dwellings located in the City of Hernando will qualify for the insurance rating drop.
This drop went into effect June 1st, 2026. The City of Hernando and Hernando Fire Department takes pride in our community and progressing our community in all ways that we can. This is a great accomplishment for our city and reflects the fire department’s continued commitment to providing high quality fire protection services and enhancing public safety for our community. With this drop in the rating, it shows the MSSRB’s confidence in our fire protection capabilities which include emergency communications, fire department operations, water supply systems, our training, and the tools and knowledge we equip ourselves with that we apply daily to reduce and mitigate risks in the city. We look forward to serving in every way we can to better the city and the families that trust us to make this community feel like a home. Thank you all for your trust and your attention to this matter.

🚑 A Look Back: The History of EMS & EMS Week

Before modern EMS systems, emergency care looked very different, fragmented, inconsistent, and lacking standardized education and systems of care. Through decades of advocacy, innovation, and continuing education, EMS has evolved into a critical pillar of public health and patient care.

📅 EMS Week began in 1974, when President Gerald Ford authorized the first national recognition of EMS professionals. Since then, it has become a time to honor the dedication, sacrifice, and impact of EMS providers across the country while highlighting the importance of continued progress in emergency medical services.

This year’s EMS Week theme, “Improving Outcomes Together,” reflects something we believe deeply at CAPCE.

At CAPCE, our mission is to set the standard for quality continuing education for EMS practitioners with the intent of improving patient outcomes, inspiring innovation, and ensuring the highest standards of excellence. Because improving outcomes starts long before a call comes in. It starts with education, training, and supporting the professionals who serve their communities every day.

We are proud to stand alongside EMS educators, providers, clinicians, and organizations nationwide as we celebrate the history of EMS and continue building its future together.
