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

Plan ahead, call a cab, use a rideshare, or designate a sober driver.

Your safety, and the safety of others, depends on it.

A holiday message from our team:

To our amazing community, thank you for your continued support throughout the year. Your kindness, trust, and encouragement mean more than you know.

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.

As you celebrate this season, please remember to dial 911 for urgent, life-threatening emergencies, like:
• Difficulty breathing or chest pain

• Anyone who is unconscious or not acting normally

When in doubt, make the call.

Wishing you a calm, safe, and joyful holiday season!

Help us celebrate our amazing paramedics!

The holiday season is the perfect time to spread a little extra gratitude. If a paramedic has ever helped you or your loved ones, we’d love to hear your story!

Send us a thank you message, a memory, or a quick shout out, and we’ll make sure it reaches the team. Your words mean the world to the paramedics who show up day and night to keep our community safe.

Let’s fill their hearts (and our page!) with appreciation this season.
