A huge thank you to Hope Springs for thinking of us and bringing us delicious pies today! 🥧❤️

Your kindness and generosity mean so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to support an organization that works so hard to provide safety, hope, and a fresh start to women and families experiencing domestic violence.

Thank you for the sweet treat and, even more importantly, for the incredible work you do in our community. 💜

We appreciate you more than you know! 🥧✨

Last week, our team responded to a hydrochloric acid leak at a Masterguard.

Hydrocloric acid is very dangerous to be around. It causes severe chemical burns on contact and dangerous respiratory irritation. It can even cause permanent blindness if it comes into contact with your eyes. We want to give huge props to Masterguard for acting fast and getting all employees evacuated and away from the leak.

We’re incredibly grateful for the quick response and assistance from the surrounding fire departments, hazmat teams, and all of the emergency personnel who worked together to safely manage the incident.

Incidents like this are a great reminder of the importance of training, preparation, and strong partnerships between emergency agencies and the communities we serve.

A huge thank-you to everyone who answered the call, worked together, and helped keep the employees and first responders safe. We appreciate your dedication and professionalism! 🚒🧯👏

Training today. Ready tomorrow.

Our team and the local fire depts spent the evening sharpening our Landing Zone (LZ) skills with our air medical partners. From selecting a safe landing site to coordinating patient transfers, every detail matters when a helicopter is responding to an emergency.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this to learn from one another and strengthen the partnerships that help bring the highest level of emergency care to our community.

Thank you to Stat Flight for sharing your time and expertise. We look forward to working together again! 🚁🚑

We've been getting a lot of calls asking about bills they are receiving from Kentucky. We went third-party billing at the beginning of the year. Their office is in Madisonville, Kentucky. The billing company is called 911 Billing. So, if you are receiving bills from them it is correct. Just wanted to clear up some confusion. The bill will say Fountain County Ambulance with a PO box in Madisonville, Kentucky.

Santa made an early stop this year and delivered something that’s on every EMT’s wish list—new Stryker Stair-PRO stair chairs!

These advanced stair chairs are designed to help our crews safely move patients up and down stairs with greater control while reducing the physical strain on our providers. It’s another investment in the safety of our patients and the well-being of the crews who serve our community every day.

Big upgrade for our service! 🚑

🚑☀️ Heat Safety Reminder from Fountain County EMS ☀️🚑

Dangerous heat is expected across our area, with heat index values (what it actually feels like) reaching 100–105°F. These conditions can quickly lead to heat-related illnesses if proper precautions aren't taken.

💧 Drink plenty of water throughout the day—even if you don't feel thirsty.
🌳 Stay in air-conditioned buildings or seek shade whenever possible.
👕 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
⏰ Limit strenuous outdoor activities to the early morning or evening hours.
🚗 Never leave children, older adults, or pets in a parked vehicle—not even for a minute.
👴 Check on elderly neighbors, family members, and anyone without access to air conditioning.

⚠️ Know the signs of heat illness:
• Heat Exhaustion: Heavy sweating, dizziness, weakness, nausea, headache, or muscle cramps.
• Heat Stroke: Confusion, loss of consciousness, hot or dry skin, seizures, or a body temperature above 103°F.

🚨 Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency. Call 911 immediately. While waiting for EMS, move the person to a cooler area and begin cooling them with cool water, wet towels, or fans if available.

The heat index combines the air temperature and humidity to show how hot it actually feels. When the heat index reaches 100°F or higher, the risk of heat-related illness rises significantly.

Stay hydrated. Stay cool. Look out for one another.
