We are fortunate to have FF/Paramedic Mileti on our team at Trenton Fire Department. She is a valuable asset to our department!

Instructor Spotlight: Melissa Mileti, EMT & Paramedic

What makes a Butler Tech graduate stand out in the workforce? For Melissa Mileti, the answer is simple: “They are ‘street ready’ !!!!”

Melissa knows that firsthand. Before becoming a Butler Tech instructor, she was a student in the program herself. Since then, she has built a career in EMS, serving in roles from First Aid to Assistant EMS Chief. Today, she continues to work in the field while teaching the next generation of EMTs and Paramedics at Butler Tech Adult Education.

For Melissa, preparing students goes beyond technical skills. She invests her time and energy into helping students develop their abilities, apply what they learn to real-world situations and gain confidence in themselves.

One of her favorite parts of teaching is seeing that transformation happen:

“There is always that moment we can see it ‘click’ for them. The understanding, real world application and if we are lucky... passing on the passion for this job to the next generation.”

Throughout her career, Melissa has learned and worked alongside EMS professionals who invested in her success, from late-night study sessions to real-world experiences. Now, as an instructor, she works to give her students those same opportunities in the lab and field.

And one piece of advice her students hear over and over again?

“Talk to your patients !!”

This morning kicks off our training program to implement a new advanced airway procedure for our Paramedics at Trenton Fire Department.

Crews will be training throughout the rest of the month before implementing Rapid Sequence Intubation at the end of the month.

Rapid Sequence Intubation(RSI) is a procedure that involves the administration of a sedative and paralytic to facilitate Endotracheal Intubation. While this is not a frequently used technique, it is one that is highly effective in managing the airway for critically injured/ ill patients.

The implementation of RSI marks a huge step forward for our EMS providers at Trenton Fire Department. It will add another option for our providers to utilize to deliver the very best care possible to critically ill/ injured patients in our community.

We would like to thank Madison Township Fire Department and the numerous other agencies including the Butler County Technical Rescue Team for their assistance this evening on a Technical Rescue Incident at the data center construction site. Excellent teamwork by all involved.

Shortly after 6pm this evening, MTFD was dispatched for a fall on Kennel Road. Upon receiving further information, crews established that this fall was actually a trench rescue, with the patient being located at the bottom of a construction trench. Butler County Technical Rescue teams were requested as well as additional assistance from the City of Trenton Fire Department. Working together, crews were able to stabilize and extricate the patient. UTV151 was utilized for removal of the patient from the construction zone and Medic 153 provided transport to a local trauma center.

We would like to thank those agencies that assisted with this extrication, showing once again that interagency training and cooperation is in the best interest of the patients we serve.
