May is American Stroke Awareness Month. NTEMS is trained to recognize stroke within the first moments of a patient assessment. Jersey Shore University Medical Center is a Comprehensive Stroke Center.

The public needs to recognize stroke signs and symptoms so EMS is summoned immediately. Use BE-FAST to help you remember what to look for. Time is Brain!

Today, NTEMS Thanks all Neptune Fire District 1 and 2 paid and volunteer Fire Fighters. We work closely with all and support them as much as they support us. They are our brothers and sisters in red. Thanks for your support.

International Firefighters’ Day is observed each year on 4th May. On this date you are invited to remember the past firefighters who have died while serving our community or dedicated their lives to protecting the safety of us all. At the same time, we can show our support and appreciation to the firefighters world wide who continue to protect us so well throughout the year. https://www.firefightersday.org/

Today NTEMS was able to connect with Unity and her family. They lost their dog in a house fire several weeks ago. EMTs Kaitlynn Basso and Andy Caruso were on duty and detailed to the fire scene and learned the dog “Cash”succumbed to smoke inhalation. Kaitlynn’s family dog had a litter of puppies so she and Andy came up with the idea to give Unity her pick as a birthday present and to make the grief journey a little easier. On duty staff met the family at one of our stations and surprised Unity who thought she was just coming to meet the crew. She got her pick of the 8-week old litter.

NTEMS is proud of the staff we have who provide care beyond the 9-1-1 calls.

Pictures and names used with permission from Mom and family.

Happy Birthday Unity!!

SHE’S GOT HER PICK OF THE LITTER!

As reported by Valerie Segraves for 1071 The Boss news:

Neptune EMTs Kaitlynn Basso and Andy Caruso, along with the rest of the team, go above and beyond for an Asbury family whose dog died when their home caught fire.

Today is also Unity’s birthday. Andy thinks the pups name should be Neptune 😂

Happy Birthday Unity!

Happy National Public Safety Telecommunicator's Week from Neptune Township EMS!

This week we recognize the first responders who come before us. They are the men and women who answer the 9-1-1 call, screen the calls, and dispatch the appropriate units.

"Every year during the second week of April, the telecommunications personnel in the public safety community, are honored. This week-long event, initially set up in 1981 by Patricia Anderson of the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office in California, is a time to celebrate and thank those who dedicate their lives to serving the public. It is a week that should be set aside so everyone can be made aware of their hard work and dedication.

National Public Safety Telecommunicator's Week is an opportunity to show their appreciation for these everyday heroes.
