Due to increasing call volume and budget cuts our ambulance service will now be responding via:

🚲 Bicycle Response Unit (BRU)
🐎 Horse-drawn stretcher (weather permitting)
🛴 Electric scooter for rapid response

Please note: sirens will be replaced with one volunteer yelling “WEE-OO WEE-OO” out the window.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we continue to provide cutting-edge emergency care.

Thank you Tri-County School for letting us come in and teach your students the importance of knowing CPR!

❤️ Hands-On Learning in Action! ❤️

Students in Mr. Spilde’s Health class had the opportunity to learn about CPR yesterday—an incredibly important, life-saving skill!

A big thank you to Ashley Turner and Taylor Clark + Tri-County EMS for coordinating this experience for our students. We appreciate you helping equip them with skills that truly matter! 👏

Merry Christmas to all our friends and neighbors! 🎄✨
As we gather around the tree and enjoy time with our families, we want to take a moment to send a special thank you to our paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, fireman, police and ER staff working through the holiday: thank you for your sacrifice, your steady hands, and your compassionate hearts. You are the true gift to our community..

National First Responders Day serves as a reminder to recognize not only the bravery we see in the spotlight, but also the tireless hours of training, preparation, and sacrifice that often go unseen.

These men and women don't just show up to work — they answer the calls that matter most. They miss family dinners, holidays, and precious moments at home because emergencies don't follow a schedule. They face danger while others flee to safety, and they carry the weight of responsibility that comes with being someone's last hope in a desperate situation.

Tri-County would like thank all those first responders that take that call no matter when. Today and every day, we encourage everyone to take a moment to thank the first responders in your communities.

September 22-27th is National Farm Safety and Health week. It is a time to spotlight the essential goals of protecting those who grow our food, raise livestock, and support agriculture. The theme this year, “Safety First, Avoid the Worst,” emphasizes the importance of proactive prevention across all aspects of farm life.

Although the list of preventative measures are endless, here is just a few to always keep in mind when working around heavy equipment, helping on a farm or even when meeting that tractor on the road.

•Slow down
•Maintain your equipment
•Use protective gear
•Prevent fatigue

Let’s all make sure we keep those farmers safe along with ourselves for this harvest season.🌾
