The calls come in, and they take over, paramedics, EMTs, firefighters, police officers, and our other trusted community partners, bringing skill, focus, and experience into moments that demand all three.

Its work in our communities that often goes unseen, but never without impact.

Today is First Responders Day, a moment to recognize the people behind those calls, and the difference they make every single day.

This holiday season, make the right choice: don’t drive under the influence.

A significant winter storm is impacting our operating areas, with multiple highways closed and extremely poor road conditions being reported.

Our paramedics are continuing to respond to emergencies and care for patients, but travel conditions are very challenging, and response times may be affected due to safety concerns on the roads.

If you don't need to be out, please stay home and stay off the roads. Reducing non-essential travel helps keep you safe and allows emergency services to reach those who truly need help.

We appreciate the patience, understanding, and support from our community as our teams do everything they can both safely and professionally to be there when you need us most.
