Osage Ambulance District

06/08/2026

Heavy rainfall and severe weather created dangerous conditions across our area today, including flash flooding on several roadways.

Osage EMS Medic 631 responded to a vehicle accident after floodwaters covered a roadway and caused a vehicle to hydroplane and enter the water.

Thankfully, all occupants were able to safely exit the vehicle and were evaluated by EMS. No serious injuries were reported.

This incident serves as an important reminder: never drive through flooded roadways. The depth and strength of moving water can be deceiving and can quickly put lives at risk.

🚧 Turn Around, Don’t Drown. 🚧

We appreciate everyone who assisted and encourage motorists to use caution as wet weather continues across the region.

Today marks 10 years since the line-of-duty death of Paramedic Jonathan Noce.

On May 25, 2016, Jonathan was found unresponsive while on duty serving the community through the Joachim-Plattin Ambulance District. He also served as a full-time paramedic for Osage EMS.

Jonathan dedicated his life to caring for others and serving his community with compassion and professionalism. He left behind his wife, two daughters, coworkers, friends, and countless lives impacted by his service.

Today, we pause to honor his sacrifice, remember his legacy, and reflect on the dedication of all EMS professionals who answer the call each day.

We will never forget Paramedic Jonathan Noce. 🚑💙

As our Spring EMT class wrapped up, to say they’ve been busy would be an understatement!

Over the past several weeks, students have participated in hands-on training and real-world learning experiences designed to prepare them for the challenges of EMS. Recently, students completed Landing Zone Operations training with the flight crew from Phelps Air, learning helicopter safety, landing zone operations, and when air medical transport is appropriate. Thank you to Phelps Air-Air Methods for taking the time to provide such a valuable experience!

In another exciting opportunity, our EMT capstone scenario day brought together students, volunteers, and our EMS Explorers program for a full-scale simulated incident experience. EMT students took the lead role in patient care while our EMS Explorers stepped in to play the role of patients.

We are proud of the hard work and dedication these students continue to demonstrate as they prepare to enter the EMS profession!
