Happy Thanksgiving from Columbia EMS!

Today we pause to reflect on the many things we are grateful for — our families, our dedicated staff, and the incredible community we are honored to serve. Thank you for trusting Columbia EMS to be there in your moments of need. Your support means everything to us.

As you celebrate with loved ones, please keep these Thanksgiving Safety Tips in mind:

🔥 Cooking Safety
• Never leave the stove or oven unattended.
• Keep towels, utensils, and paper goods away from heat sources.
• If a fire starts in a pan, cover it with a lid — never use water.

🚗 Travel Safety
• Allow extra time for holiday traffic.
• Wear your seatbelt and avoid distractions.
• Never drive under the influence. If you drink, have a sober ride planned.

🦃 Food Safety
• Cook turkey to an internal temp of 165°F.
• Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

❄️ Cold Weather
• Dress warm and watch for ice when traveling or walking outdoors.

From all of us at Columbia EMS, we wish you a safe, healthy, and joyful Thanksgiving.
