🚨🎡 Fair week fun! 🎡🚨

You have probably seen A1 EMS crews at the Effingham County Fair this week and our stretchers haven’t been the only thing rolling—we’ve been out and about enjoying the festivities, too! Elephant ear & lemon shake ups? Checked. Dusty boots? Definitely. Great company? Always.

We love being part of events that bring the community together, and nothing says summer like rodeos, rides, and a whole lot of fair food. We’ll be here the rest of the week- come say hi if you see us!

To the moms who raised EMTs and Paramedics—
Thanks for preparing your kids for a career full of 2 a.m. alarms, wild stories, cleaning up other people’s messes, and answering 47 questions like ‘Can I take Tylenol with water?’ …in 30 seconds.
Clearly, we’ve been training since childhood… probably thanks to you.

Happy Mother’s Day to the ones who taught us how to handle chaos, find the missing shoe in 3 seconds, and stay cool when everyone else is losing it.
You didn’t just raise kids—you raised lifesavers.

In recognition of National Public Safety Telecommunicator Week 2025

We pause to express our deepest appreciation to the dedicated public safety telecommunicators who serve as the critical link between our communities and emergency services. These professionals are the calm, steady voices guiding citizens and first responders through some of life's most challenging moments.

Their commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and professionalism ensure that help arrives quickly and efficiently. Telecommunicators are often the unsung responders of public safety- working tirelessly behind the scenes to protect lives and maintain order.

We extend our sincere gratitude for your service, your sacrifice, and your dedication to the safety and well-being of our communities. Your efforts do not go unnoticed!

Specifically, we would like to recognize our own, A1 EMS Dispatchers- Elizabeth and Violet, as well as everyone from Douglas County Dispatch, and Greenville Dispatch in Bond County. We delivered gift baskets to each today and hope they all enjoy them!
