Lavaca County EMS

10/29/2025

Lavaca county EMS has deployed one ambulance at the request of the state along with numerous other departments to support the mission of the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS).

These ambulances are strategically placed with wildfire crews from across the state during increased fire weather dangers to support the wildland firefighters, their health and safety.

😂 Good one, Fort Bend!

“When AHA says there’s no proven benefit to mechanical CPR, that’s cool and all — but for me and mine at Fort Bend County EMS, we’re still rocking with our LUCAS.”

⁉️ WANT TO LEARN ⁉️

LCEMS has taught CPR to MORE PEOPLE than any other department in our region! Crazy, right!? Little ole’ Lavaca county! That means more people know this lifesaving measure and can begin prior to our arrival which significantly increases survivability rates! Great job Lavaca county 👏

Today, Calhoun County EMS and El Campo EMS had a memorial service for their employee, Daniel Cuellar. In order for all of their employees to attend with their apparatus to honor him, numerous EMS agencies “backed in” to their stations to answer calls for Calhoun County EMS. This is a time honored tradition that we were honored to participate in.

Today from approximately 3PM to 5:30PM units from Lavaca county EMS, Jackson County EMS, Victoria Fire Department and Fort Bend County EMS answered 911 calls and stationed in Port Lavaca and Port O’Connor area. Dustin Furgeson from
Victoria FD supervised the north part of the county and Chief Furrh supervised the south.

Rest easy Daniel, we’ve got it from here.

⁉️ DID YOU KNOW ⁉️

Ever wonder why an ambulance is sitting at Wied Hall off of 90A between Halletsville & Shiner? Right now is a great example.

Matt & Dylan are the last available ambulance on the county while the rest are assigned to calls. This is where we post so we can respond as equally to Moulton, Shiner & Halletsville.

🚑 NEW AMBULANCE ❓

Well….. yes & no. This unit was actually manufactured in 2014 and lived its first life for San Antonio FD then served Sacred Heart EMS in Victoria. The unit had no engine in it & sat abandoned for well over a year when we got our hands on it. Now, it makes its way back to Lavaca county after being remounted on a new chassis and refurbished 🤯

Next week will be graphics and it should come to a street near you by the end of next week.

Our prayers from Lavaca county go to Daniel and his family. May God Speed.

It is with heavy hearts that we extend our deepest condolences to our neighboring EMS families at Calhoun County EMS and El Campo EMS on the tragic loss of one of their own, EMT Daniel Cuellar.

Daniel was known as a bright, ambitious, and dedicated young professional who embodied the very best of what it means to serve in EMS. His passion for helping others and his commitment to making a difference left a lasting impression on those who had the privilege of working beside him.

EMS is a close-knit community. In Texas, there are just over 33,000 certified Paramedics and 46,000 certified EMTs and AEMTs, many of whom cross paths through shared calls, classes, and careers. When one of us hurts, we all feel it.

The entire team at Austin County EMS offers our heartfelt prayers and deepest sympathy to Daniel’s family, his friends, and his colleagues at both departments. May they find comfort in knowing that his legacy of compassion and service will not be forgotten.
