Cheshire County EMS – Proud Moment of Teamwork and Dedication

Today during a fire in the City of Keene, Cheshire County EMS mobilized rapidly and had four ambulances on scene within minutes. Off-duty members immediately reported in to ensure that no calls for service were missed, maintaining full coverage for our community.

Following the incident, our medics, and others, participated in a comprehensive skills training session with our Medical Director, focusing on medication delivery, cardiac arrest management, Stop the Bleed, and surgical airway procedures.

We are incredibly proud of our team’s professionalism, dedication, and teamwork. Their commitment to serving our community—both in the field and through continuous training—truly stands out.

We’re also relieved and grateful to hear that all firefighters injured today have been discharged, and we wish them a swift and full recovery.

🚨 Busy & Intense Month for Cheshire County EMS 🚨

As we close out June, our team has responded to an impressive 378 total calls (and counting), reflecting a notable increase in volume across the region. These included:

✅ 145 Primary 911 Responses
✅ 60 Mutual Aid Responses
✅ 31 Intercepts
✅ 3 Standbys

In addition to the high call volume, the acuity of patients has been significant, including multiple STEMI activations and traumatic injuries requiring critical care and rapid interventions. The extreme heat and humidity over the past few days have only added to the challenges our crews have faced in the field.

Through it all, our providers have remained committed, resilient, and professional. We are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication our crews consistently demonstrate every day.

👏 Thank you for all that you do. Cheshire County is a better and safer place because of you.
