As our training sessions continue this month we would like to offer a BIG thank you to all of our crew members who gave us their Saturday for training today. Thank you to EMT Dillon Green for demonstrating proper hand signals when assisting the emergency vehicle operator in backing the ambulance. These universal hand signals help us with communication and prevent backing collisions.

As always thank you to our ems professionals for your dedication to our community and your commitment to excellence.

🚑 EMS Week 2026 🚑

This week, we proudly recognize and celebrate the dedicated men and women of EMS who answer the call day and night to serve our communities.

From providing lifesaving care in emergencies to offering comfort during difficult moments, our EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, supervisors, mechanics, education team, and support staff work tirelessly behind the scenes and on the front lines every single day.

Thank you to our entire Lifeguard team for your compassion, professionalism, sacrifice, and commitment to patient care. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are proud to stand beside each of you.

Happy EMS Week to all EMS professionals everywhere! 💙❤️

Today, our Floyd County Operations team came together for our annual EMS cookout!

It was a great day filled with good food, laughs, and time spent together outside of the everyday hustle of EMS. We’re thankful for the hard work, dedication, and teamwork each member brings to our service and community every single day.

A big thank you to everyone who helped organize, cook, and make today a success. We appreciate all that our crews do! 🚑🌭🇺🇸

It’s okay to not be okay.

As first responders, we’re trained to be strong for everyone else—but that doesn’t mean we don’t carry things, too. The calls, the stress, the things we see… they add up. And for our community—life can feel overwhelming in ways others may not always see.

You are not alone.

Checking in on each other—at work, at home, and in our community—can make more of a difference than you realize. A simple conversation could save a life.

If you’re struggling, please reach out. Talk to someone you trust. Help is always available.

💚 For immediate support in the U.S., call or text 988 — the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Together, we can break the stigma and support one another—because every life matters.

It has been a busy and productive week for crews in Harlan County. On Thursday, FTO Kirby and AEMT Craig participated in the county’s 4-H Day, engaging with and supporting the youth in our community.

Today, multiple crews, in collaboration with the Emergency Management directors, Air Evac, SKCTC nursing students, and local police and fire departments, conducted the county’s annual Mock Disaster exercise.

We extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who took time to remain actively involved in and committed to the community we serve.

When one of our own is benched, we do our best to make sure they’re still taken care of. Last week, Harlan LT Galloway and FTO Kirby volunteered their time to make sure fellow LT Simpson could safely enter and exit his home while recovering from a work related injury.
Levi, we all wish you a speedy recovery and can’t wait to have you back.
