One of RIPs Safety’s first time NREMT pass students doing big things for his community!! Congratulations Dre Blanchard, NREMT!

🚨 Congratulations, Dre Blanchard! 🚨

Please join us in congratulating Dre Blanchard on successfully completing his EMT course and becoming a Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician! 👏🚑

Dre started coming around the fire station at just 17 years old as a junior member. He wasted no time learning the ropes, and when he turned 18 in 2022, he was ready to answer the call and respond to fire emergencies.

As Dre continued to grow with the department, he developed a strong interest in the emergency medical field. He earned his Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) certification, but that wasn’t quite enough for him. Earlier this year, Dre decided to take the next step and enrolled in an EMT course — and today, we’re proud to say he did it!

Dre is a tremendous asset to the Paincourtville Volunteer Fire Department, and we couldn’t be more proud of his dedication, hard work, and willingness to serve others. We know he will continue to make a difference in our community for many years to come.

Congratulations, Dre! We’re proud to have you on our team! 🔥🚒🚑

Honored to serve those who serve us. 🇺🇸

This past weekend, the RIPs Safety Training and Consulting team wrapped up our first CPR training session with the Louisiana Air National Guard!

This is just weekend one of many to come. Ensuring our service members are equipped with critical, life-saving CPR and emergency response skills is a responsibility we don't take lightly.

Huge thanks to the airmen for their dedication, engagement, and hospitality throughout the training.

We’re looking forward to the rest of the series and continuing this strong partnership!

🚑 Community Connection & Hands-On Learning! 🩺

Today, our initial EMT class visited the St. James Parish Senior Center, and it was an incredible experience for everyone involved!
Our students had the opportunity to practice taking vital signs, while getting comfortable with real-world patient introductions and interactions. It wasn't just about the medical training, though—the day was filled with so many laughs, shared stories, and fantastic learning opportunities for both the center members and our future EMTs! ❤️

📋 As a thank-you, each member was provided with:

• A written copy of their assessed vital signs
• A helpful flyer packed with emergency numbers and important safety information

Thank you so much to the staff and wonderful members at the St. James Parish Senior Center for welcoming us with open arms! We are so proud of our students for stepping up and serving our community. 🌟

We are incredibly proud to celebrate our very own Trent Larousse for his outstanding impact at the 2026 Louisiana State EMS Education Conference & Expo in Shreveport! 🩺🚑

Trent went into the conference scheduled to present a single 45-minute session on human trafficking awareness for frontline healthcare providers. However, the response to his expertise was so overwhelming that his schedule quickly expanded into two 45-minute sessions and an additional, intensive two-hour presentation!

The reality of this issue is staggering: nearly 88% of human trafficking victims will encounter a healthcare professional while being trafficked. As Trent pointed out, for long-time EMS professionals, this means victims have likely been sitting in the back of an ambulance without anyone realizing it.

Trent’s dedication to changing this narrative has already sparked statewide action. At the conference, he was personally thanked by the Director of the Louisiana Bureau of EMS for his vital role in getting human trafficking resource stickers placed in the back of every single ambulance across the state.

True to his collaborative spirit, Trent shares this honor with Suh Hughart, whom he met at the FDIC conference in Indianapolis. Suh’s initial presentation inspired Trent to bring this critical material home to Louisiana. When the Bureau of EMS staff attended Trent's very first event on the topic, they took his suggestion, ran with it, and made the statewide ambulance stickers a reality.

The momentum isn't stopping there. The ultimate highlight of Trent's sessions was the flood of leaders asking how to bring his training to their own teams—including the dean of a large Louisiana community college who has requested that Trent present this vital material to his entire staff.

Please join us in congratulating Trent on this well-deserved recognition and thanking him for his tireless work to educate, protect, and forge a safer future for our communities! 👏👏
