🎄✨ **’Twas the Night Before Christmas… EMS Edition** ✨🎄

’Twas the night before Christmas, all through the town,
Not a pager was silent, not even turned down.
The ambulances waited, lights ready to glow,
Under clear West Texas skies, no frost and no snow.

The stockings were hung and the kids were in bed,
Dreaming of Santa and cookies they’d fed.
While our crews checked their rigs and shared holiday cheer,
Ready to help if a neighbor was in need far or near.

So sleep tight, little ones, and don’t worry tonight,
Santa’s on his way — and EMS is on watch till first light.
From all of us at Seminole EMS, we wish you cheer,
A safe, happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year! ❤️🚑🎅

🌟 **Employee Recognition** 🌟

I would like to take a moment to recognize an employee who truly went above and beyond.

Ty, a new EMT with Seminole EMS, demonstrated what it means to have a servant’s heart this past Saturday night. While responding to a motor vehicle crash East of town, the crew came upon a disabled vehicle with two women standing outside. Believing it may have been the reported accident, they stopped to check on their safety. After determining it was not the original call, the crew continued on to the MVC.

Once the call was cleared, Ty insisted on going back to assist the women — stopping to change their tire and ensure they were safe before leaving.

This is the kind of dedication that defines Seminole EMS. We are blessed to have team members who genuinely care for others and are committed to serving our community, even when no one is watching.

Thank you, Ty. Your compassion, dedication, and commitment to service do not go unnoticed.

— Chief French
