🎆🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from Linn County Ambulance District! 🇺🇸🎆

As you celebrate with fireworks, food, and family today, your local EMS crews are standing by—ready to respond if needed, but hoping everyone just enjoys the day safely!

🔥 A few quick safety tips:
• Light fireworks away from people, pets, and property.
• Keep water nearby—just in case.
• Never relight a “dud” firework (even if Uncle Bob swears it’s fine).
• Hydrate like it’s your job—heatstroke is not festive.

We’re proud to serve this incredible community. Wishing you a safe, joyful, and star-spangled Independence Day! 🇺🇸❤️💙

She Raised You. She Bandaged You. She Deserves the Best Trauma Kit.

This Mother’s Day, skip the brunch line and show Mom you’ve got your priorities in order—starting with safety and scene awareness!

To all the EMS moms out there:
• Who can start an IV with one hand and calm a toddler with the other
• Who carry trauma shears in their purse just in case
• Who somehow manage to work night shift and make it to the school play
We see you. We salute you. We hope you get a nap this weekend.

And for everyone else—maybe this is the year Mom gets her own tourniquet. Just sayin’.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Linn County Ambulance District Training Center!
