🗑️❄️ SHOUT OUT TIME: Let’s Hear It for the Trash Titans!

While many of us are bundled up inside complaining about snow that’s literally never going to melt, there’s a crew of heroes out there dodging ice, wrestling trash cans, and keeping our communities clean:

👏👏 THE WASTE COLLECTION CREWS. 👏👏

Let’s be real, they’re the unsung backbone of civilization.
They’re out there in the bitter cold, sliding down streets that haven’t seen pavement since last Tuesday, making sure that our pizza boxes, broken snow shovels, and “what even is that smell?” bags disappear like magic.

They don’t ask for much, just a little space, a little wave, and maybe the occasional thank you.

So Mon County, join us and drop your shout-outs below for the folks riding the back of those trucks in 20° windchill just so society can function without garbage avalanches.

Boone says: They’re cooler than a Cybertruck and twice as tough. 🐾💪
(Also, they never complain about his “contributions” to the trash bin.)

📚❄️ To All the Snowbound Parents: We See You.

Day 4 of school closures. Your living room is now a classroom, snack bar, and emotional support zone. And the only thing multiplying faster than the snowflakes… is the number of virtual learning links.

We just want to say:
🙏 To all the parents juggling work, virtual learning, and surviving snow chaos: you’re doing amazing.
📚 To the teachers trying to keep 20 frozen screens engaged from home: you’re superheroes.

Here at Mon EMS, we’ve had a special guest with us all week: Ellie, whose mom is one of our rockstar employees. She’s been here each day, diligently crushing her schoolwork like a pro… with Boone providing emotional support during breaks (mostly in the form of tail wags and snack theft). 🐾To Ellie's teachers, please know that if she say's the "dog ate her homework"...it's probably true.

We’re incredibly proud of our team, not just for showing up to work in snow and ice, but for being parents, teachers, helpers, and role models all at once.

So hang in there.
You're not alone.
We’re in it together, and Boone is offering free stress snuggles on request.

🚑Mon EMS Leads the Way – ACETECH Training Week is Here!

This week, our entire staff is participating in ACETECH training — and we couldn’t be more excited to bring cutting-edge safety and performance technology to Monongalia County.

So what is ACETECH? ACETECH is an advanced fleet and safety management system that helps us:
✔️ Monitor real-time vehicle performance
✔️ Track driving behavior for safer transport
✔️ Improve response efficiency
✔️ Enhance patient and crew safety
✔️ Reduce wear-and-tear on vehicles
✔️ Lower environmental impact

Basically — it’s like giving our ambulances a smart brain and our drivers a co-pilot that never misses a detail.

And we’re proud to say: Mon EMS is the first in West Virginia to roll it out!
Because when it comes to safety, innovation, and patient care — we don’t wait for the future, we lead it.

👀🐾 As for Boone?
He was present for the training. But after being told (again) that he’s not allowed to drive an ambulance, he launched a silent protest… by falling asleep mid-module.
We’ve reviewed his performance. He’s getting a paw-sitive rating in morale boosting, but 0% in system navigation.

We’ll let the humans handle the fleet — Boone will stick to napping and emotional support duties.

🕯️ Today, on World Holocaust Remembrance Day, Monongalia EMS remembers the 6 million Jews and 6 million other individuals who were systematically murdered during one of history’s darkest chapters. 🕯️

As emergency medical professionals, our mission is rooted in the preservation of life, the protection of human dignity, and the service of all people—regardless of background, race, or belief.

On this day, we honor the memory of those lost by committing ourselves to compassion, equity, and vigilance against hatred in all its forms. Let us never forget the past as we work to build a more just and humane future.

01/27/2026

This past week, our crews responded to 376 calls for service across Monongalia County. Each number represents a neighbor, a moment of need, and a team ready to help—day or night.

The graphic below breaks down the types of calls we handled, from cardiac emergencies to motor vehicle accidents, lift assists, and more. Behind every dispatch is a dedicated EMT or paramedic working to keep our community safe and supported.

We’re proud to serve you—and grateful for the trust you place in us. Whether it’s a routine transport or a life-threatening emergency, Mon EMS is here for you.
Thank you to our team, our partners, and our community. Stay safe, stay connected, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need us.

🫀 Bystander CPR saves lives — and you could be the reason someone survives.

Every minute without CPR reduces a person’s chance of survival by 7–10%. But when bystander CPR is performed immediately, studies show it can double or even triple survival rates from cardiac arrest.

Most cardiac arrests happen at home or in public — and often, someone nearby can help. That someone could be you.

🚨 Don’t wait for help to arrive — be the help until we get there.
Learn CPR. Practice often. Be ready.

🌨️💛 From All of Us at Mon EMS – Thank You, Mon County

As this winter storm winds down (finally), we hope you’ve enjoyed following along with our storm posts. Our goal wasn’t just to update you on road conditions or throw snowballs at Karen and Steve, it was to deliver important safety messages wrapped in a little humor and a whole lot of heart.

Yes, we use AI tools to help polish our posts. But behind every image, every laugh, and every safety reminder is a real Mon EMS employee crafting content with purpose and care. We do this to reach as many people as possible, in a way that makes sense, sticks, and maybe even makes you smile while you’re stuck inside with three feet of snow and an empty snack shelf.

In a world full of stress and sadness, sometimes a little satire and a cartoon dog can go a long way.

🧤🚑 We are especially proud and grateful for our EMS clinicians, the members of IAEP Local 304, our officers, and our support staff, who came to work through ice, snow, and chaos to answer every emergency call. They even stepped up to assist our neighboring jurisdictions. They didn’t just show up, they raised the bar, yet again.

Our crews continue to provide some of the most progressive care in the country, always with one mission in mind: taking care of the people who matter most: you.

🙏 Thank you for your continued support. We see it, we feel it, and we don’t take it for granted.

Oh, and if you’ve been wondering about the fluffy golden guy in all our posts? 🐾 That’s Boone.

Boone was rescued a few months ago by EMS clinicians from a dangerous situation, and ever since, he’s stolen our hearts. He’s our in-house morale booster, part-time model, and full-time good boy. Every time he offers a tail wag or a face lick, it makes even the hardest shifts a little bit lighter.

Stay warm, stay safe, and thanks for riding out the storm with us.

🚛❄️ TO ALL WHO ARE OUT THERE TODAY — WE SEE YOU.

Big shoutout to:

🚑 EMS clinicians
👮 Law enforcement officers
🚒 Firefighters
🧹 Plow truck drivers
🏥 Hospital and healthcare workers
☕ Gas station and grocery employees
🛠️ Utility crews keeping the lights on
…and everyone else showing up when most people get to stay cozy.

You’re the reason this county keeps moving, even when the roads are trying their best to eat tires and souls.

But also…

🗣️ Hey Steve — running out of Twinkies, beef jerky, and a six-pack is not an emergency.

Boone says the only thing you should be starting today is your TV or that project that your wife has been asking you to fix for the last 2 years. Leave the roads clear so essential workers can do their thing—and so our plow truck heroes can finish turning your street from an ice rink into something that vaguely resembles pavement.

If you don’t need to be out, don’t be.

Today’s motto: Essential or bust.

🧹❄️ SHOVELING TIPS FROM MON EMS (feat. Boone the Cardiac Coach)

So you’re ready to dig out and reclaim your driveway kingdom? Great. But let’s not go from “Winter Warrior” to “Code Heart Attack” in 10 minutes.

Here’s Boone’s Shovel Smarter, Not Harder list:

💓 1. Pace yourself – Shoveling snow is basically CrossFit with poor traction. If you’re over 40 (or under and had one too many peoperoni rolls), you have heart risk factors, or just recently declared “I got this,” take it SLOW. That white stuff is heavier than your pride.

🥶 2. Dress warm but don’t overheat – If you’re sweating like you just ran up Chestnut Ridge, take a break.

🚫 3. Don’t hold your breath while straining – That’s not bracing. That’s begging your heart to stage a revolt.

🚒 4. SHOVEL OUT FIRE HYDRANTS – Seriously. If your house catches firefighters have to dig out the hydrant first, they're wasting time that could be saving lives. (Also it's Boone's favorite outdoor potty)
Bonus: You’ll feel like a hero, minus the spandex.

🐾 Boone says it best:
“If you’re gonna drop in a snowbank, at least let it be for a snow angel, not a cardiac arrest.”

Stay safe, stay smart, and go easy on the shovel like it’s your ex’s Netflix password.

🛑❄️ “The Snow Stopped—That Doesn’t Mean You Should Start”

Attention, Mon County: Just because the snow stopped doesn’t mean your brain should.

Roads are still a disaster, schools are closed, and emergency crews are out here playing Frogger: Ice Edition.

🚫 And let’s talk potholes.
The snow may be melting, but what’s underneath? A trapdoor to the center of the Earth. Drive down Van Voorhis and you’ll hit a crater big enough to register on the Richter scale.

Enjoy another day in tomorrow. And don't tell us you don't have snacks. We all know you have that secret stash in the back of the cabinet that your husband never goes in.

So no, Karen, you do not need to “test the traction” on your CRV. And to the Cybertruck drivers.....just....no.

Let’s all collectively agree to chill. Literally. Stay home, sip something warm, and stop giving EMS extra cardio in a snowbank. Let the plow crews do their work.
