Wildland fire responses bring unique challenges, including long hours, difficult terrain, rapidly changing conditions, and operations far beyond our crews' normal response areas. We are proud of the PCHD EMS paramedics who have answered the call to provide support wherever they are needed.

These deployments are another example of the cooperation and mutual aid that exists among emergency response agencies across our region. When communities need additional resources, first responders come together with one goal: helping those who need it most.

Thank you to all of the firefighters, EMS personnel, law enforcement officers, emergency management teams, dispatchers, and support personnel working the Ross Fire.

Service doesn't stop at the county line.

Today we’re celebrating a remarkable life-saving effort and the power of teamwork.

On May 19, 2026, Benjamin Termin suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while visiting a Poolville school. Thanks to the quick actions of school staff and bystanders, CPR was started immediately and the school's AED delivered two life-saving shocks before first responders arrived.

Paramedics Adam Fowler and Carter Huddleston, along with the firefighters of ESD 1 Engine 47, provided advanced medical care and ensured Benjamin received seamless treatment from the scene to the hospital.

Benjamin’s recovery is a testament to the importance of CPR training, AED access, and the coordinated efforts of citizens, first responders, healthcare professionals, and community partners.

Please join us in recognizing everyone involved in this incredible save and celebrating Benjamin’s recovery. ❤️🚑👏

Recently we had the honor of recognizing Chris Reynolds, a cardiac arrest survivor whose story is a powerful reminder of the impact of teamwork, training, and rapid intervention.

Following a sudden cardiac arrest during surgery, Chris’s life was saved through the extraordinary efforts of the surgical team, nursing staff, ESD 1 Engine 35, and Parker County Hospital District paramedics. Their quick actions, clinical expertise, and seamless coordination turned a critical emergency into a remarkable survival story.

We are proud to recognize Chris and all of the healthcare professionals, first responders, medical directors, educators, and leaders whose dedication made this successful outcome possible. Thank you for your commitment to saving lives and serving our community.
