Congratulations to Denton and Cheyenne on receiving the BEE Award from Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System!

This recognition reflects the professionalism, teamwork, and care they bring to every call. Proud to have you representing Reno County EMS! 🚑🐝

❄️🚗 It’s happening… 1–3 inches of snow is on the way (don't come for us on the likelihood of accumulation, we're just being proactive!)!

BUT, before you channel your inner NASCAR driver, here's a friendly reminder from your favorites at Reno Co EMS:
• Slow down
• Increase following distance
• Your vehicle does not handle “just fine in the snow.” 😉

Also, please remind your parents, grandparents, and that one stubborn neighbor that the mail can wait, the trash cans don’t need rescued immediately, and shoveling snow at 6 a.m. (or really anytime) is not a competitive sport.

Don't get us wrong, we love seeing you, but preferably not from the side of the road (or the end of the driveway). Stay safe out there! 💙🚑

Don’t drop the ball. ⬇️
Just watch the ball drop. 🪩🎉

Because dropped balls lead to:
🍾 Bad decisions
🚗 Bad driving
🚑 Very familiar faces

Do 2026 you a favor:
✔️ Plan a sober ride
✔️ Slow it down
✔️ Stay warm

We’ll be working either way, but maybe don’t let your first phone call of 2026 be to 911 (we’re honored, but staying safe is a much cooler call 😎).

We believe in you, 2026 is your year! Drop 🚑 in the comments if you don’t plan on meeting us tonight 👀🚑

Have a great and safe NYE, Reno County! We’re always here if you need us (and even if you don’t 😉). 🫶🏼

Merry Christmas from Reno Co EMS! 🚑🎄

The county is quiet, cookies are half-eaten, and somewhere a paramedic is wondering if Santa can bring just one silent night for the dispatch tones. 😅🚑

While most are curled up by the fire, our crews are curled up with… a radio, a cot that’s definitely not comfortable, and coffee strong enough to power the ambulance itself. ☕⚡️

To everyone working tonight — thank you for holding down the fort and responding with holiday spirit (and maybe some tinsel still stuck to your uniform).

Merry Christmas, Reno County! 🚑🎄

And just like that, Nitro has clocked out for his final shift of the holiday season at Reno County EMS.

*no elves were paid for said shenanigans, unless you count the cookies, candy canes, and vibes*

After one last shenanigan (he really fought us on having to go back to the North Pole, something about everything here being bigger and louder??), we finally got him strapped in with some entertainment (& only one episode of vomiting so far) and he is off to the North Pole!

The sirens are finally quiet, the station is (mostly) calm, and Christmas cheer and chaos has reached its peak. BUT you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout and I'll tell you why..... Nitro will be back next year 😏🎄

P.S. Sorry Santa, we will try harder next year 😅

Nitro may be small, but he’s got a BIG reminder: take care of yourself (and your neighbors) this holiday season ❤️🎄

Everyone starts somewhere, so pick a task and get after it! Today, Nitro joined one of our crews at the gym. He started strong, but ended up on the wrong side of the bar (rumor has it his attitude is heavier than any weight he’s ever lifted)😅💪🏼 either way, he would like everyone to know he tried his elf-est!

Above all, Nitro wants you to know this: you are needed and you matter 💚🚑 take yourself to the gym, hang out with friends, or take a load off at home.. just do what is best for you!

After repeated acts of mischief, we decided it was time for Nitro to participate in some community service! Yesterday, he spent some time with two of our brightest shining faces at a touch a truck event at Reno County Head Start! 🎓✏️🚑

After a couple hours of tiny humans (who may ask more questions than he does) and supervising one of our favorite PR outreach types, he assured us that he is committed to behaving better in the future.. do we believe him?! 🤨

*no elves were harmed or otherwise touched by the tiny humans during this event 🫡*

*Infection prevention has entered the chat*

When Nitro’s friend came to visit for some “exposure”, I’m not sure this is the kind he had in mind..

After an intensely sharp morning, Nitro earned himself a visit with infection prevention, which is now headed by one of our former supervisors (he only thought he was getting away from our shenanigans).. he was then provided with:

✔ A firm reminder about sharps safety
✔ A refresher on bloodborne pathogens
✔ Several disappointed dad looks (IYKYK)

A sharp 💉 end to a very risky shenanigan! 🚑

🚨Pausing our elf related festivities for a well deserved moment of congratulations! 🚨

Today, we had not one, but TWO brilliant students receive their pins today, signifying the successful completion of paramedic school through our friends at HCC. 🚑 After hundreds of hours of class, labs, clinicals, and a rigorous field internship.. they are DONE! ✅

Please join us in congratulating Liz and Avery on taking the next step in their career to provide their patients with the best care possible! We are all SO proud of you both! 🚑💙

He said "ride along", but this feels more like a "hold on". 🥴

Hold on to your Santa hats 🎅🏻, Nitro is reporting for duty as a SUPERVISOR for the day! 🚨He says he wants to conduct some field evaluations, but he may also just be looking for cookies.. to be determined.. either way, he is on a mission!

Festive, feisty, and supervising nicely 😇🚑🎄
