Jennifer’s EMS Journey

Jennifer first earned her NREMT-B certification on February 5, 1997. She worked full-time in EMS until 2003 and continued working part-time through 2007. After allowing her certification to lapse in 2012, Jennifer returned to the classroom and completed her refresher course in February 2026.

On August 31, 2026, Jennifer officially earned her NREMT-B certification once again—returning to the profession she has dedicated so much of her life to.

Congratulations, Jennifer Moore! Your Metro family is proud of you! ❤️🚑

Today, the women are hard at work! 💪🚑

Operations Manager Autumn Mize, Paramedic Whitney Garrett, and Ella Smith are putting in the work today—giving our logistics room a fresh coat of paint and a complete reorganization.

And here’s the part that makes it even more impressive… all three of these ladies are coming straight off a 24-hour shift!

That’s dedication. That’s teamwork. That’s Metro.

We’re proud to have people who don’t just talk about getting the job done—they roll up their sleeves and do it.

Thank you, ladies, for continuing to go above and beyond! ❤️🚑

Man Falls Through Rotting Porch — Metro Ambulance Responds

Logistic Manager James Blackwell, Crew Chief Jacob Holman, and Mechanic Tim Graham recently attended “Ferno Care” training in Wilmington, Ohio.

The training provides the knowledge and skills necessary for in-house maintenance and preventative maintenance of Ferno equipment, allowing Metro Ambulance Service to better maintain its equipment, reduce downtime, and ensure equipment remains safe and ready for service.

This is another investment in our equipment, our employees, and ultimately the patients we serve.

“Typically, the first thing we do is obviously remove them from the heat, get them in the ambulance with the AC running. We have cold packs that we’ll put on the neck areas under the armpits and then the groin area, which is the best place to put cooling effect stuff. Then once we get that initiated and we get the temperatures to drop in some, we’ll start IVs with normal saline to also help cool the body down,” said Elkins.

These last few days have been the hottest we’ve seen all Summer, with temperatures skyrocketing into the triple digits.
Local medical personnel say they’ve seen an uptick in heat cases and calls.
