We join the public safety community in mourning the loss of Tim Bertz.
Tim worked in our Cambridge area as an EMT before joining the St. Paul Fire Department.
We offer our condolences to his family, friends and the communities he served.

The Saint Paul Fire Department mourns the loss of Firefighter Timothy Bertz, who passed away yesterday following a serious medical event. Firefighter Bertz, a recent graduate of the Saint Paul Fire Academy and proud military veteran, served with dedication and left a lasting impact. Our deepest condolences to his wife, family, and loved ones.

A public memorial will be held on December 29 at Maranatha Church in Forest Lake. We request privacy for the family during this difficult time.

Additional details will be made public once available.

It's been a busy time of the year- another season of Santa Parades and Heroes & Helpers.
We had a great time connecting with the kids and our public safety partners in the North Metro this past week! Thanks North Metro TV for sharing this story!

In this season of gratitude, we'd be remiss to not be thankful for our EMS Team Members who work together to provide exceptional care in our communities.
We're grateful to the members of IAEP R7-167, which ranges from wheelchair transport drivers, EMTs and paramedics, mechanics, dispatchers and calltakers who make our mission happen.
We are grateful for those behind the scenes who contribute to the mission with planning, education and research, and to our first responder teams from law enforcement, fire and beyond who help make it happen.
We love it when a plan comes together. Here's a few recent snapshots from Brownton, Champlin, and C**n Rapids.

We're expecting a busy weekend throughout the areas we serve-football games, 5Ks, Trunk-n-Treats, and the 105th Anoka Halloween Festival!
If you're in the Anoka area on Saturday, here's a quick update on the parade route and closures.

Flashback Friday
With the start of the school year, we'd thought we'd flashback to summer when Flat Stanley joined us at the 3M Open PGA tournament.
Hats off to all the readers out there and hope you enjoy your adventures this year.
