🚑💙 American Diabetes Alert Day 💙🚑

Today is a powerful reminder that diabetes can affect anyone and early detection can make all the difference.

EMS service sees firsthand how important it is to recognize the signs, check blood sugar levels, and take action early. Something as simple as a quick test can help prevent serious complications down the road.

⚠️ Know the warning signs:
• Increased thirst
• Frequent urination
• Fatigue
• Blurred vision
• Slow healing wounds

Whether you’re on a call, at home, or just checking in on a loved one, a small step today can lead to a healthier tomorrow.

👇 Drop a comment:
Have you helped a person that was not aware they were having issues? Let us know in the comments if it made the call go a bit better as they knew what might be the issues.

Stay proactive. Stay informed. Stay healthy.

AND as always, if you need an ambulance, hit me up!

🍀🚑🔥 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🔥🚑🍀

Even on a day full of luck, green gear, and a little Irish dancing… our firefighters and medics are always ready to answer the call!

Today, we celebrate the spirit of the day, community, laughter, and maybe just a little bit of that Irish luck ☘️ while recognizing the crews who keep showing up no matter what the calendar says.

From the station to the streets, it’s business as usual… just with a little extra green mixed in!

👇 Let’s have some fun, drop a comment:
Are you celebrating today… or working the shift?

📞🏙️ Happy National 3-1-1 Day! 🏙️📞

We all know 9-1-1 is for emergencies… but what about the everyday issues that still need attention?

That’s where 3-1-1 comes in.

The 311 system helps residents report non-emergency issues, get information about city services, and connect with the right department to solve problems in their community. Whether it’s reporting potholes, asking about trash pickup, or finding help with city programs, 311 helps keep communities running smoothly without tying up emergency lines.

It’s a simple reminder:
🚨 911 = emergencies
☎️ 311 = city services & non-emergency help

Both play an important role in keeping our neighborhoods safe, informed, and connected.

Did you know about 311 services in your city?

🩺 World Kidney Day

Today we recognize the importance of kidney health and the role these incredible organs play in keeping our bodies running strong. Kidneys help filter waste, balance fluids, regulate blood pressure, and support overall health. When kidneys fail, even everyday activities can become incredibly difficult.

👨‍⚕️🚑 First responders see the effects of kidney disease more often than people realize, from complications related to diabetes and high blood pressure to dehydration and other medical emergencies. Staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and getting regular checkups can make a big difference.

Another powerful way to make an impact is through organ donation.

💙 One organ donor can save up to 8 lives and improve the lives of many more. Kidneys are the most commonly transplanted organ, and thousands of people are currently waiting for a life-saving transplant.

If you’ve ever considered becoming an organ donor, today is a great day to learn more.

👉 Register to be a donor in Indiana:

👨‍🚒 First Responders:
Have you ever been part of a call where organ donation made a life-saving difference?
