Nine years have passed since we lost a great man, firefighter, paramedic, and brother.

May 6, 2017 - LODD
Firefighter/Paramedic James “Dewon” Wells, 52
Montgomery County Fire/EMS. Mount Sterling, KY
Firefighter/Paramedic Wells worked his shift on May 5, 2017, from 0800hrs to 1600hrs. During his shift, he complained to a fire department member that he was experiencing numbness in his mouth. Immediately before leaving the station at the end of his shift, he complained to his chief that he had a headache and did not feel well. The following day, May 6, 2017, at approximately 1400hrs, Firefighter/Paramedic Wells was still not feeling well and went to a medical clinic, but returned home since he started to feel slightly better. Soon thereafter, his wife came home and found him unresponsive on the couch and not breathing. His wife initiated CPR and Firefighter/Paramedic Wells was transported to St. Joseph Hospital in Mount Sterling, where he was pronounced deceased.

We had some visitors walk up from Mapleton Elementary last week! It’s neat to be able to walk to a fire station for a miniature field trip.

Today, another one of our older ambulances left for our remounting company in NC. This ambulance had over 400,000 miles on it! The box will be taken off, repainted and repaired on the inside, and then placed on a new chassis. It will come back to us in August as a frontline ambulance. This process saves us nearly $200,000 dollars if we were to buy an entire new ambulance.
