🚑 Today, during the final day of National EMS Week, we recognize EMS Remembrance Day. 🚑

Today is a time to reflect and honor those who have been part of the EMS profession and helped shape the service we know today — whether they have since left EMS or have passed away.

Many former EMS providers dedicated countless hours to caring for others, answering late-night calls, supporting their communities, and serving alongside their fellow responders. Even after stepping away from the profession, the impact they made continues to be felt.

We also remember those who are no longer with us, honoring their service, sacrifice, and the lives they touched throughout their time in EMS.

EMS is more than a career — it’s a family, and once you’ve been part of it, you’re always part of it.

Today we thank and remember all those who helped pave the way and serve as part of the EMS community, both past and present. ❤️🚑

🚑 Today we recognize EMS Recognition Day during National EMS Week! 🚑

Today is simply about appreciation.

Appreciation for the early mornings, late nights, interrupted family dinners, missed sleep, and the willingness to respond whenever the pager tones drop.

Appreciation for the calm voices during stressful moments, the reassuring presence during emergencies, and the dedication EMS providers bring to every call — no matter how big or small.

EMS is not always an easy job, and much of what providers do happens quietly behind the scenes without recognition. Today, we want to make sure they know their hard work, sacrifice, and commitment to our community truly matter.

Thank you to all EMS personnel for continuing to serve with compassion, strength, and heart. Our community is grateful for each and every one of you. ❤️🚑

🚑 Today, during National EMS Week, we recognize Save-A-Life Day! 🚑

Saving lives doesn’t only happen on emergency scenes — it can start right here in our community.

Today is about encouraging everyone to learn simple but lifesaving skills that can make a huge difference during an emergency. Donating blood, learning CPR, taking a Stop the Bleed course, checking on neighbors, and being prepared to act in critical moments are all ways everyday people can help save lives.

We’re excited to share that community CPR classes will be coming soon, along with Stop the Bleed courses open to the public. These classes help provide the knowledge and confidence needed to step in and help before first responders arrive.

In a small town, we look out for one another — and together, we can build a safer, stronger community.

Stay tuned for more information on upcoming classes and opportunities to learn lifesaving skills! ❤️🚑

🚑 Today, during National EMS Week, we recognize EMS for Children Day! 🚑

Children are not just small adults — they require specialized care, equipment, training, and compassion during emergencies. EMS providers must be prepared to respond to some of the most stressful and emotional calls involving our youngest patients.

From calming frightened children and supporting anxious parents to delivering lifesaving care in critical moments, EMS professionals work hard to ensure pediatric patients receive the best care possible when they need it most.

In small communities, caring for children often means caring for neighbors, classmates, teammates, and familiar faces — making these calls even more personal.

Today, we recognize and thank EMS providers for their dedication to pediatric emergency care and for the compassion they show children and families every single day. ❤️🚑

🚑 Today, during National EMS Week, we recognize EMS Safety Day! 🚑

Every call EMS responds to comes with unknowns, which is why safety is always a top priority — for our patients, our crews, and our community.

From wearing proper protective equipment and practicing safe driving habits to training for high-stress situations and watching out for one another on scene, EMS providers make countless decisions each day to help ensure everyone goes home safely.

In a small town, these responders are more than EMS providers — they’re our friends, neighbors, and family members. Their commitment to serving others while keeping safety at the forefront does not go unnoticed.

Thank you to all EMS personnel for your dedication, professionalism, and continued focus on safety every single day. ❤️🚑

🚑 Today, during National EMS Week, we recognize EMS Education Day! 🚑

EMS is a field that never stops changing, which means learning never stops either. From classroom training and certifications to hands-on scenarios and continuing education, our EMS providers are constantly working to improve their skills and knowledge to better serve our community.

Behind every response is hours of training, preparation, teamwork, and dedication. Whether it’s learning new protocols, practicing lifesaving skills, or mentoring the next generation of providers, education plays a vital role in providing high-quality patient care.

Thank you to all EMS personnel, instructors, and mentors who continue to invest their time and effort into learning and growing in this profession. Our community is stronger and safer because of you. ❤️🚑

⚠️ CANCELLED. NO LONGER IN EFFECT PER EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

⚠️ Phillips is currently under a Tornado Watch until 11 PM. ⚠️

A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for severe storms and possible tornado development. Now is the time to prepare and stay alert — not panic.

🌪️ Tornado Safety Reminders:
• Keep your phone charged and weather alerts turned on
• Know where you will take shelter if a warning is issued
• The safest place is a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows
• Have shoes, flashlights, medications, and important items easily accessible
• Avoid traveling unless necessary during severe weather
• Never try to outrun a tornado in a vehicle if you can safely seek shelter nearby

Please continue monitoring local weather updates and be prepared to act quickly if conditions worsen.

Our crew will be monitoring the weather closely and are ready to respond if needed. Stay safe, stay weather aware, and check on your neighbors — especially the elderly or those who may need assistance.

🚑 Today kicks off National EMS Week! 🚑

We’re proud to begin the week by recognizing “Health, Wellness, and Resilience Day.”

In a small town, EMS is more than a job — it’s neighbors helping neighbors, familiar faces showing up on hard days, and people willing to answer the call at all hours of the day and night.

Today’s theme is a reminder that the people who care for our community also need support, encouragement, and time to care for themselves. The long nights, difficult calls, and emotional moments can be heavy, but the strength and resilience of EMS providers continues to shine through.

Thank you to all EMS personnel and EMS support who serve our community with compassion, dedication, and heart. We appreciate everything you do — today and every day. ❤️
