🚨𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐘: 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐒 𝟑𝟏 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒🚨

Millions of Americans are under extreme heat warnings and advisories this week, with temperatures soaring as high as 120°F in some areas. The National Weather Service warns of a “significant threat” to health in many regions.

🌡️ Why It Matters:
Extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s dangerous and potentially deadly, especially for:
▪️ Older adults
▪️ Young children
▪️ Pregnant women
▪️ People with chronic health conditions
▪️ Outdoor workers and those without access to air conditioning

States under Extreme Heat Warnings include:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

(With Heat Advisories across much of the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast)

✅ Stay Safe:
▪️ Limit time outdoors
▪️ Stay hydrated
▪️ Wear light-colored, breathable clothing
▪️ Check on elderly neighbors, children, and those with medical conditions
▪️ Never leave pets or people in hot cars

If you don’t have access to AC, check local listings for cooling centers in your area.

Let’s beat the heat together. Your health and safety come first.

As students across the state start to return to school, Medshore Ambulance is inviting career-seekers to join a different kind of classroom, one where saving lives is part of the curriculum. Applications are now open for the fall session of the EMS Training Academy in Anderson, South Carolina. The 12-week course begins on September 1 and concludes on November 21.

The academy is designed to train and certify the next generation of EMTs through a rigorous, hands-on educational experience. Upon successful completion of the program and licensure, graduates are offered full-time positions with Medshore Ambulance and commit to a minimum of 24 months of service.

Classes are held Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and include live instructor-led classroom sessions, lab simulations, and clinical rotations on active 911 units. Each participant must complete a minimum of 10 patient contacts and four field shifts during their clinical training.

Students enrolled in the academy receive a training wage of $15 per hour and are eligible for full-time employee benefits. Medshore Ambulance covers the cost of tuition, textbooks, uniforms, and fees for the National Registry exam — including up to two attempts within two months of completing the course. The company also provides job placement assistance and ongoing support as students transition from training into the field.

To be eligible, applicants must be at least 18 years old, hold a high school diploma or GED, possess a valid driver’s license, and successfully pass a pre-employment interview, testing, background screening, and drug screening.

Medshore Ambulance’s EMS Training Academies are part of the company’s broader workforce development strategy, known as the Priority Path. This initiative provides career ladders for EMS professionals at every stage, from EMT and paramedic to field training officer, critical care paramedic, supervisor, and beyond.
