We want to send a big thank you to LifeNet of New York who help our crew during a difficult call on Sunday.

And about that parking ticket you might be worried about… don’t lose any sleep over it. Let’s just say we know a few people. 😉

❄️ Snow Problem? We’ve Got You Covered. ❄️

Hamilton County is under a State of Emergency from January 25–26, and winter is reminding us who’s in charge. While the snow piles up, SVAC is ready to respond—no matter the weather.

As you can see, even our “coldest” EMT is geared up and ready to go.
Please do your part to stay safe during this storm:

Avoid unnecessary travel

Give plows and emergency vehicles plenty of room

Check on neighbors, especially seniors

Call 911 only for true emergencies

Our volunteers are prepared and committed to caring for everyone—even when the conditions are challenging. Stay safe, stay warm, and let’s get through this winter weather together. 💙❄️️

🎄✨ SVAC Annual Christmas Party at Oak Mountain ✨🎄

What a great night celebrating the season and our incredible volunteers at the SVAC Annual Christmas Party held last week at Oak Mountain! The evening was filled with good food, laughter, and well-deserved recognition for the people who make our mission possible all year long.

A huge congratulations to Paul Harley, who was named SVAC Volunteer of the Year! 🏆 Paul’s dedication, hard work, and commitment to serving our community truly embody the spirit of SVAC. And as if that wasn’t enough, Paul also proved his holiday prowess by winning the always-competitive “Guess the Number of M&Ms” contest! 🍫😄

Thank you to everyone who attended and to all of our volunteers who give so much of their time and heart to this organization. We are grateful for each and every one of you. ❤️

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from SVAC! 🦃

Today, we give thanks for this incredible community we proudly serve—year-round residents, seasonal neighbors, and visitors who make our corner of the Adirondacks so special.

We are especially grateful for our dedicated volunteers who sacrifice time with their own families to ensure that someone else’s family has help when they need it most. Their compassion, skill, and commitment to service are at the heart of everything we do.

As you gather around the table today, we wish you warmth, safety, good health, and moments of peace.
If you’re out enjoying the holiday weekend, please take care, travel safely, and look out for one another.

🍁 From all of us at the Speculator Volunteer Ambulance Corps — Happy Thanksgiving!
We are thankful for YOU. 🧡

🚨 Important Update from SVAC 🚨

After many years, Speculator Volunteer Ambulance Corps will no longer be collecting 5-cent bottles and cans as of October 29.

Despite our best efforts, we’re no longer able to find a business that can pick up and process the donated bottles and cans.

We want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported SVAC through your bottle and can donations over the years — your generosity has made a big difference in helping us serve our community. ❤️

Thank you again for your continued support of SVAC and local EMS! 🚑

🚨 Honoring Our Heroes — National First Responders Day 🚑🚒👮‍♀️

Today, we pause to recognize the brave men and women who answer the call—day or night, rain or shine. From EMS professionals and firefighters to law enforcement officers and dispatchers, first responders are the backbone of our communities.

At SVAC, we’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with our fellow first responders across Southern Hamilton County and beyond. Your dedication, courage, and compassion save lives and make our towns safer every single day.

To our volunteers, partners, and supporters—thank you for everything you do. ❤️

Last week, SVAC had the pleasure of welcoming Mrs. Kraus’ 7th-grade health class for a special lesson in CPR. These students rolled up their sleeves, got hands-on practice, and learned skills that could one day save a life. 💪🚑

We love seeing the next generation of our community taking an interest in health, safety, and emergency care. A huge thank you to Mrs. Kraus for bringing her students by—your class was awesome!

At SVAC, we believe that CPR is a skill everyone should know, no matter your age. You never know when you might need it. ❤️

🎉 Hey Speculator 4th of July Parade —Thank You for a Fantastic 4th of July Parade! 🚑❤️

What an incredible day! We want to thank everyone who came out to wave, cheer, and celebrate with us at the Speculator Fourth of July Parade. Your support and smiles mean the world to us!

As EMS providers, the work we do isn’t exactly “Bring Your Kids to Work” friendly—but the parade is the one special day each year where we get to share what we do with our families. Watching our kids ride along and beam with pride is something we cherish, and it reminds us why we serve.

🎆🚑 Join SVAC for the Speculator Fourth of July Parade! 🎆

Come celebrate Independence Day with us at the Speculator 4th of July Parade ! Wave to your local volunteer EMTs and drivers as we roll through with our ambulance and Rescue 1, our snowmobile trail rescue machine.

📍 After the parade, meet us at the ballfield for a hands-on look at our equipment, ask questions, and say hello to the volunteers who proudly serve our community all year long.

It’s a great chance for the kids (and grown-ups too!) to check out the ambulance, explore Rescue 1, and learn a little more about what we do behind the lights.

💙 We can’t wait to see you there—celebrate safely, and don’t forget to wear red, white, and blue! 🇺🇸
