🚑 WHAT A WEEKEND IN OUR COMMUNITY! ❤️

It was another busy weekend for Lawrence County EMS as we had the privilege of supporting several events happening throughout our community.

From football, cross country, motor sports, and bull riding to simply being out and about meeting our neighbors, we truly enjoy being a part of the community we serve. These opportunities allow us to do more than respond when someone needs us. They allow us to connect with the people that make Lawrence County such a great place to call home.

We are proud to serve Lawrence County and grateful for every opportunity to be involved in the community. We’re honored to be there alongside you!

LCEMS SELECTS NEW D-SHIFT SUPERVISOR, PARAMEDIC MICHAEL WRIGHT

As Lawrence County EMS prepares to transition to the 24/72 schedule, we are proud to announce that Michael Wright has been selected to serve as the D-Shift Supervisor.

Michael, along with several qualified applicants, participated in a formal application and interview process for the position. His selection reflects not only his experience and qualifications, but also the leadership he has already demonstrated within LCEMS. Michael is no stranger to leadership. He has served as the C-Shift Field Training Officer, a position that trains students and new employees, but also assumes the responsibilities of shift supervisor when the supervisor is unavailable.

Michael is currently in his 11th year serving in EMS and is a licensed Paramedic. He has been a member of the Lawrence County EMS team since June 2018. Throughout his career, he has earned multiple EMS certifications, including advanced medical, pediatric, and trauma certifications. He has also successfully attended the Tennessee EMS Leadership Course, presented by the Tennessee State Office of EMS and the Tennessee EMS Education Association.

In addition, Michael also serves Lawrence County during some of its most difficult moments as a Death Investigator with the Lawrence County Medical Examiner’s Office, and has completed the St Louis University’s Medicolegal Death Investigator Training Course..

Please join us in congratulating Michael on his selection as D-Shift Supervisor! We are excited to have Michael step into this new role and look forward to working alongside him as we continue moving LCEMS forward.

🚑 📚 EDUCATION FOR EMS EDUCATORS!!

Lawrence County EMS was proud to have the opportunity to attend the Tennessee EMS Education Association Conference in Murfreesboro this week. Assistant Director CC-Paramedic/IC Watkins and CC-Paramedic/IC Daughtry attended the conference.

The TEMSEA Conference brings EMS educators from across Tennessee together to strengthen teaching skills, refresh clinical knowledge, explore emerging technology, and network with those in EMS education across the state. This year’s conference provided valuable education on topics including the new state mental health curriculum, the use of artificial intelligence and technology in EMS education and student support, and Tennessee’s new ventilator curriculum, among many other topics impacting EMS education.

Participation in the conference also provides required Instructor Coordinator updates, helping our state endorsed I/Cs remain current and active while bringing new knowledge, resources, and teaching strategies back to LCEMS.

Assistant Director Watkins had the privilege of participating in the beta course for Tennessee’s new leadership program for frontline EMS supervisors. Participants helped evaluate the program and provide feedback before its rollout to EMS supervisors across the state.

At LCEMS, continuing education isn’t just about maintaining certifications. It’s about continuing to grow, so we can better prepare our providers and better serve our community. We are thankful for the hard work that the TEMSEA board and volunteers put in to bring together an incredible conference each year.

THANK YOU from Lawrence County EMS!!

Last night marked an exciting step forward for LCEMS and the community we are honored to serve. Our county leaders have approved the transition to a 24/72 work schedule for our EMS personnel. We would like to sincerely thank them for their continued support of LCEMS. Your commitment to strengthening EMS has allowed us to expand staffing with the addition of a fifth EMS unit and invest in modern equipment/protocols over the last few years, and now implement the 24/72 work schedule that better supports the health and well being of our responders.

EMS is a demanding profession. Our providers work long hours, face physically and emotionally challenging situations, and are there for our community on its worst days. Providing them with additional time to spend with their families, rest, and recover helps reduce burnout, improves recruitment and retention, and ultimately allows us to provide the high quality emergency medical care our citizens deserve.

This decision is an investment not only in our responders, but in every resident and visitor who depends on LCEMS when it matters most.

To our county commission, county executive, budget department, and all those involved, thank you for believing in our mission and supporting the future of EMS in Lawrence County.

And to our dedicated EMS professionals, thank you for your unwavering commitment to serving this community. We are proud of each of you and look forward to continuing to build an even stronger EMS system together!

🚑 Our Summer EMR Program is in Full Swing! 🚑

Lawrence County EMS is excited to welcome students from multiple Lawrence County Fire Rescue departments and Tennessee State Parks to the Jason Dickey Memorial Fire Training Center as they work toward becoming certified Emergency Medical Responders.

Throughout the program, these students will complete nearly 80 hours of training, including classroom instruction, hands-on skills labs, and clinical rotations with LCEMS. Their training will prepare them to sit for the National Registry EMR examination.

Already, students have been practicing essential lifesaving skills such as:
🩺 Spinal immobilization
💨 Oxygen administration
❤️ High-quality CPR
🫁 Bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation

These are just a few of the many critical skills they’ll develop throughout the course as they prepare to respond when their communities need them most.

Lawrence County EMS is proud to partner with our local emergency service organizations to train the next generation of Emergency Medical Responders. Investing in education today helps ensure our community has well-trained, compassionate responders ready to answer the call tomorrow.

Please join us in wishing these students success as they continue their journey toward certification!

Thankful for the teamwork of our crews and our emergency response agencies in Lawrence County! Always wear your seat belts, don’t drive distracted, and stay safe out there! We are thankful for the opportunity to care for our community when it matters most.

For Immediate Release:
July 16,2026
Subject: MVA Response

At approximately 2:39 PM today LCFR was notified by Lawrence County E-911 of a motor vehicle crash in the West End fire district with significant injuries, and one patient entrapped. An immediate response was initiated by Lawrence County Fire Rescue units. Rescue 2 arrived on scene and confirmed a two vehicle crash with four total patients including one pediatric patient. In one of the vehicles our personnel found an adult patient with critical injuries that was heavily pinned upside down in the vehicle that had rolled during the crash. Our personnel utilized hydraulic rescue tools to free the patient from the vehicle while Lawrence County EMS personnel provided patient care. After being freed from the vehicle the patient was transported by Air Evac Lifeteam to a Trauma Center.

Simultaneously Lawrence County EMS was providing patient care to the 3 patients from the second vehicle involved in the crash. Two patients from that vehicle were transported by ground to Southern Tennessee Hospital in Lawrenceburg with non critical injuries.

Lawrence County Fire Rescue units have recently responded to several motor vehicle crashes with serious injuries, and entrapments. We encourage everyone to wear your seat belts, and drive safely.
