🚑 2025 🚨 2026 🚑 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As 2025 has come to an end and 2026 is in full swing, we want to recognize the dedication and commitment of our crews.

1,260 total calls for our service in 2025, passing our highest totals once again. Each of these 1,260 calls represents a moment when our community/county needed help—and our crews answered. From medical emergencies, to critical life-saving responses, to standbys, to transfers - our EMTs, AEMTs, and Paramedics worked around the clock to serve with professionalism, compassion, and pride.

Thank you to our team for your tireless service, and thank you to our community/county for placing your trust in us every day. We are honored to answer the call and ready for what 2026 brings. ❤️🚑
