Did you know First Capital EMS has FOUR Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs)?

So, what does a CPST do? Our technicians provide hands-on demonstrations to help you safely install your child’s car seat in your specific vehicle. They also check for important safety concerns, including recalls, expiration dates, and hidden damage. Finally, they help ensure the seat is properly fitted by checking your child’s weight, height, and harness adjustments.

And this program isn’t just for new parents... it’s for everyone in the family! Here’s CPST O’Connor helping a set of grandparents safely install a car seat.

Do you have a car seat that needs to be installed or checked? Contact us today to schedule a free appointment! Visit www.firstcapitalems.org/contact-us and fill out the contact form.

Safe travels start with a safe ride!

Some of you may have been tagged in a post recently about a "First Capital EMS Alumni" shirt.

Please report it, remove yourself from the tag, and do not click on any links. It is a scam.

We will do what we can from our end.

Remember how we mentioned there are a few projects going on around here? Well, this is another one!

Over the next few weeks, this vehicle will be getting buttoned up, lettered, stocked with equipment, licensed, and ready to hit the road.

We can't wait to show you what it looks like and, more importantly, how we're going to be using it to support our operations and the communities we serve!

Stay tuned…

Anybody catch our Community Engagement Unit and crew at National Night Out last night?

From teaching hands-only CPR and giving ambulance tours to answering questions about EMS and providing car seat safety checks, our team had a great time engaging and connecting with the community.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello. We hope you learned something new, and we look forward to seeing you at the next community event!

Over the past several weeks, our Education Committee has been holding ALS Assist and BLS Optional Protocol classes for our EMTs.

These classes give our EMTs a more formal understanding of how they can assist our Paramedics on scene while also providing an opportunity to expand their skillsets. By investing in the education and development of our providers, we ultimately improve patient care for all of the communities we serve.

This is just one of the many projects currently underway at First Capital EMS. Every initiative, every training, and every investment in our people has the same goal... to make our providers better, so we can make our communities healthier.

We are proud of the work our team continues to do every day to grow, learn, and provide the best care possible to our patients.

Today, our York County dispatchers stepped up in a tremendous way for First Capital EMS, Life Team EMS, Hanover Area Fire & Rescue, and, most importantly, the family and friends of AEMT Thomas Hull.

There are few moments in public safety that carry the weight of a "Last Call". It's more than a radio transmission... it's a final tribute to a life dedicated to serving others, and a reminder that while his radio may have gone silent, the impact that he had never will.

To our dispatchers, thank you for handling such a difficult moment with the professionalism, dignity, and compassion it deserved.

Tommy, thank you for your service, your friendship, and the countless lives you touched.

Damn... you will be missed.

Rest easy, Tommy. We'll take it from here.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of AEMT Thomas "Tommy" Hull.

Tommy's passing has come as a tremendous shock to everyone who knew him. Although he had been with First Capital EMS for less than a year, his kindness, dedication, and passion for serving others left a lasting impression on our organization.

Prior to joining First Capital EMS, Tommy proudly served with our mutual aid partners at LifeTeam EMS's York Division. While the patch on his sleeve changed, the friendships and bonds he built over the years never did. Tommy was, and always will be, a valued member of the York County EMS family.

Last evening, members of First Capital EMS and LifeTeam EMS came together to share memories, support one another, and honor Tommy's life. It was a reminder that while we may serve under different names, we are one EMS community.

Please keep Tommy's family, friends, and coworkers in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Funeral arrangements are pending.

Rest easy, Tommy. Thank you for your service, your friendship, and the lives you touched. You will never be forgotten. 💙🖤
