Great story about the challenges EMS faces in South Dakota and around the country.

Emergency medical services in South Dakota and nationwide are at a crossroads. The financial model that has sustained the industry for half a century is crumbling under increased costs and a limited workforce, and lawmakers are working to find solutions.

🚑 Piedmont EMS was at the Piedmont Valley Library this morning for the kids storytime about first responders. Our EMTs showed the kids around the ambulance, and taught them about how we use tourniquets, splints, oxygen, and more! They also learned how and when to call 911 in an emergency. Thank you to the library and the families for coming out—we see some future EMTs in the group!

🇺🇸 We remember those first responders who gave their lives trying to save others on 9/11. We will never forget the legacies the men and women left, inspiring bravery and courage in the midst of the fateful attack on America. 🇺🇸

Today we held our annual Emergency Vehicle Operations Course. Trevor Lightfield of Pierre Fire conducted the classroom portion before the hands on driving portion.
