An Enhanced Risk for severe storms is forecast for Tuesday evening. All hazards are possible and the threat will continue after dark. The risk includes many of our most popular recreation areas. If you plan to be outdoors ensure you have way to receive alerts and have a plan for shelter.

This is not a yearly, typical threat for severe storms. For many locations this is the first time they have been in a Day 2 Enhanced risk since the category was created in 2015. The continuation of severe weather after dark will also make recognizing the severe threat that much more difficult. Stay weather aware tomorrow!

Even during summer break R9 fire science remains committed to constantly improving to provide the best possible instruction and training for our students with modern equipment. This morning we placed new turtle plastics cribbing in service, plastic cribbing is far superior to wood by being engineered to support the loads it will be subjected to and being completely impervious to fluids such as gas and oil. This new cribbing will be utilized for vehicle stabilization training, all the cribbing pictured was obtained with federal grant funds.

19 years ago, we tragically lost our friend and colleague Allan Parsons.

I heard the "peepers" last night. I immediately thought of your darn ring tone and then all the memories flooded my mind. 19 years have gone by. Wow is that possible. I think about would you still be in EMS? We would be considered the "senior" medics and that can translate into 2 categories. Years of experience and just being "old".

Yes, I am still here. Still one of the faces of Med-Care. Holding onto a career that I love. I'm at the other end of my career. It's a young person's game. But I feel I still have so much to teach this new generation before I'm done. EMS has changed and is still changing. I wonder how you would feel about the direction the whole healthcare system is going.

I am sad that most of the people who now work here have no idea who you were and what you meant to me and to so many others. We do have some great providers here, but you were the exception. I will continue to tell everyone about the kind of person you were.

I worked the trucks on Friday, but I won't work another 4th or 5th. I will be at home as I have been every 4th since that weekend's tragedy.

I will make sure people remember you again this year. They will know your story. The pain may be a little less but those memories of you are as strong as the day I first met you and I knew we would be friends, family.

I'll love you always.

What better day to announce Mexico’s brand new Engine 20 has been officially placed into service!

Engine 20 replaces Engine 23, a 2002 E-One we purchased used in 2014, marking our first brand new suppression apparatus in well over 30+ years. Thank you to all who have made this purchase possible in the name of safety and service to community. Here’s to many years of continued service. Have a safe and joyous 4th everyone!
