This week, we honor the people who show up on some of the hardest days in others’ lives—with steady hands, compassionate hearts, and an unwavering commitment to care.

Behind every call is a paramedic who chooses service over comfort, calm over chaos, and compassion over convenience. You work long hours, missed holidays and family moments, and carry burdens most will never fully understand—all to make sure your community is cared for when it matters most.

Thank you for your strength, your sacrifice, and the kindness you bring to every patient, every family, and every moment. Your impact reaches far beyond emergency scenes—you make our community stronger, safer, and more connected.

Happy EMS week to our Paramedics in Sun Prairie 🚑

One reality of working on an ambulance is that we rarely learn how our patients are doing after we drop them off at the emergency room. We work hard to help people, but we are often left wondering about their outcomes once we hand them off to hospital providers. Our care for people does not stop when our shift ends.

A few days ago, a former patient and her husband stopped by the station to give us a very special update. This patient had suffered a severe medical event that required intensive, specialized care from our paramedics, firefighters, and partners at the Dane County Sheriff’s Department.

From the skilled communication professionals at the Dane County 911 Center to the responders on the scene, a whole team worked in concert to help her. Everything fell into place exactly as it should. The system worked perfectly in her time of need.

The extensive planning, training, practice, and continuous system improvements ultimately led to a glorious outcome. The patient, her husband, and one of our responding paramedics were able to meet back at the station and share a hug.

Thank you to everyone who made this beautiful moment possible. We are grateful to our hospital partners in the UW-Health system for their excellent care, thank you to our crew, and thank you to the patient for fighting so hard. Teamwork made this reunion possible.

We’ve experienced multiple rounds of storms this week, and today has the potential to be the most impactful. Please do not let your guard down! Have multiple ways to receive warnings, know where you will go if a warning is issued, and be prepared to act quickly.

Stay safe, Sun Prairie!

Please stay safe tonight. Adjust your plans accordingly and be prepared!

Last night’s 💨storms left some damage in their wake. ⚡Power outages, property damage, 🌳trees down, wires down and lost trampolines… We know people have been busy cleaning up and assessing the damage, but its also important to prepare for the next round of storms coming in.

💪🍃The latest updates indicate that the next storms have potential to be even stronger than what we faced last night.

Please take the time to prepare a safe storm shelter, ensure you and family can quickly make it to your shelter if the need arises. That means having a way to be alerted while you sleep (not outdoor sirens)

🏢For some people, especially in apartment buildings or those with slower mobility, that may mean making your way to safety before warnings come out. As a reminder elevators do not work when power goes out. Do not plan on using one as your egress plan to safety!

🛻Be cautious while driving during storms. Localized flooding can still be a threat, do not enter standing water. There may also be live electrical wires hidden in the mess and darkness of storm damage.

🏚️When assessing storm damage, exit damaged buildings until they are deemed safe to occupy, do not walk blindly through yards and streets, electrical dangers may be hard to spot.

🍫🍎Power outages may be prolonged. Have food and drinks that do not need power to prepare and do not require refrigeration.

👩🏻‍🚒Fire, 🚑EMS & 👮🏽Police will be working through the weather, along side our 👷🏼public works department and 👷‍♂️SP Utilities (& Others)

📞Please call 9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ if you experience and emergency

Last night, Sun Prairie Fire & EMS, Police, Utilities, and Public Works worked side by side to monitor conditions and respond to multiple storm-related hazards, from downed trees to power lines, both here in Sun Prairie and in neighboring communities. We are grateful for the dedicated teams who worked through the night to keep our community safe. That work continues today as crews assess damage and prepare for the potential of more severe weather later this afternoon and evening.

⚠️Reminder: The enhanced risk of severe weather continues through tomorrow morning. Please stay alert, follow official warnings, and avoid travel during peak storm times if possible. Damage from last night may leave trees, power lines, and structures more vulnerable if additional storms develop.

Stay weather aware, Sun Prairie.
