🎆 New Year’s Eve at LCAD Training Center 🎆

As we close out 2025 and step into 2026, we want to take a moment to say thank you.

Thank you to our EMTs, Paramedics, students, instructors, and partner agencies who continue to show up, learn, teach, and serve—day in and day out. This past year was filled with growth, hard work, late nights, and a shared commitment to doing things the right way for our patients and our communities.

As the clock turns tonight, we look ahead to 2026 with excitement:
• More training
• More opportunities
• More teamwork
• Continued focus on excellence in EMS education

However you’re ringing in the New Year—on shift, at home, or somewhere in between—stay safe, take care of one another, and know that what you do truly matters.

Here’s to a strong start in 2026.
Happy New Year from all of us at LCAD Training Center

🎆🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from Linn County Ambulance District! 🇺🇸🎆

As you celebrate with fireworks, food, and family today, your local EMS crews are standing by—ready to respond if needed, but hoping everyone just enjoys the day safely!

🔥 A few quick safety tips:
• Light fireworks away from people, pets, and property.
• Keep water nearby—just in case.
• Never relight a “dud” firework (even if Uncle Bob swears it’s fine).
• Hydrate like it’s your job—heatstroke is not festive.

We’re proud to serve this incredible community. Wishing you a safe, joyful, and star-spangled Independence Day! 🇺🇸❤️💙
