Our department was thrilled to participate in Bluffton’s annual Healthy Kids Event last night. The local YMCA partnered with Bluffton school’s science night to fill the entire school with fun activities for the children. So many kids had the chance to learn to practice carrying patients and practicing CPR skills!
If you have an event coming up that you think we could be helpful at please let us know! OR if you have suggestions for how our department could benefit the community we’d love to hear from you.

McDonald’s for dinner tomorrow sounds like a great option. What a fantastic opportunity to raise funds for a local all abilities playground!

Want to support a great local cause and grab dinner at the same time? 🍔❤️

Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 15, support the Bluffton Lions Foundation just by ordering through the McDonald’s app at the Bluffton McDonald’s. 20% of mobile order sales will help fund a new all-inclusive playground where children of all abilities can play together 🛝✨

It’s an easy way to make a difference for local kids and families while enjoying a simple meal 🙌 Every mobile order helps bring this playground project one step closer to reality.

Please share and support if you can!💛

Last night two of our finest were honored during the Village Council Meeting. First, Meri Skilliter was recognized for 35 years of Volunteer Service to Bluffton EMS. During that time she served the community as an Advanced EMT and also an instructor to our EMS providers, ensuring our crews stayed current with protocols and procedures. We wish her well in her future endeavors!
Jan Basinger was then honored. Jan has been an Advanced EMT in Bluffton for the past 33 years, with the last 19 of those heading our squad as Chief. Although our department has transitioned from Volunteer to full time Jan continues to operate as our Assistant Chief, filling vacant shifts, providing guidance and remaining a pivotal and respected member of our department.
