🚒🧠 As we wrap up Stroke Awareness Month, crews from B-Shift took a break from extrication training to thank Barrow County for helping us spread awareness throughout the month of May. Together, we can make a difference. 💜🚒

Know the warning signs using F.A.S.T.:
💜 Face drooping

Every second matters during a stroke emergency. Quick action can greatly improve recovery outcomes and help protect your loved ones! 💜🚒
