Station 19 A Shift responded to an unusual rescue today after 11 ducklings became trapped in a sewer. Our crews worked carefully to safely remove each duckling and reunite them with their mother.

Whether it’s a major emergency or a small rescue, we are always ready to serve those in need.

Today, members of St. Johns County Fire Rescue had the honor of attending Trauma Survivors Day at HCA Florida Memorial Hospital — a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

Lt. Rudy Rios and Eng. San Lee had the opportunity to reunite with a patient they helped save following a serious motor vehicle accident. Standing alongside the incredible trauma team, nurses, physicians, and hospital staff involved in that patient’s care was a full-circle moment that highlighted the strength of the entire chain of survival.

This is exactly why we continue to invest in advanced prehospital medicine and critical care capabilities, including carrying blood products and providing advanced lifesaving interventions in the field. Early critical care can make the difference between life and death long before a patient ever reaches the hospital.

From the first 911 call and roadside care to surgery, rehabilitation, and recovery, it takes a team effort to turn tragedy into survival. Events like this remind us that behind every call is a person, a family, and a story that continues long after the scene is cleared.

We are grateful to the staff at HCA Florida Memorial Hospital for the exceptional care they provide to our community every day and for allowing our crews to share in these meaningful moments of recovery and resilience.
