UMC EMS

We are proud to welcome home, Paramedics Fernanda Vera and Joseph Hunt and the rest of Strike Team 201, to their corresponding departments following their deployment as a medical asset supporting TIFMAS wildland firefighters.

They have been deployed since December 19th through January 2nd, and will have another one of our crews relieve them.

Throughout their deployment Fernanda and Joseph provided critical EMS coverage for fire operations, including response to the Mistletoe Fire in Randall County on Christmas Day—serving through the holiday to ensure the safety and medical support of fire crews on the front lines.

Wildland deployments demand long hours, adaptability, and teamwork under extreme conditions. Their professionalism and commitment exemplify the strength of mutual aid and the dedication of EMS providers who answer the call wherever they’re needed.

Welcome Home, Fernanda and Joseph, thank you for continuing to represent our community and service, with pride and honor.

It is with profound sadness that UMC EMS announces the loss of one of our own, Daniel Le. Daniel was not only a dedicated member of our team, but also a cherished friend. We were all privileged to work alongside him. His commitment to service, his compassion for others, and his unwavering professionalism left an impact that will never be forgotten.

We extend our deepest condolences to Daniel’s family, friends, and all who are grieving this tremendous loss. As we honor his memory, we remain grateful for the time we shared and the countless lives he touched.
