Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who rose in the face of unimaginable tragedy on 9/11.

It has been 24 years, but the memories remain vivid. The heartbreak, the unity and the strength.

May we never forget the impact of that day and may we continue to strive for a world filled with peace, compassion, and resilience.

🚑 **Congratulations to Mat Montique!** 🚑

We’re proud to announce that Mat Montique has officially passed his NREMT Paramedic test! 🎉

Becoming a paramedic is one of the toughest journeys in emergency services. It takes thousands of hours of classroom instruction, clinical rotations, and field internships, not to mention the mental toughness and dedication required to master advanced life-saving skills. Paramedics are trained to handle the most critical emergencies—cardiac arrests, severe trauma, pediatric crises, and so much more.

Passing the NREMT exam is no small feat—it represents a deep commitment to patient care, critical thinking under pressure, and the drive to always put others first.

Please join us in congratulating Mat on this incredible accomplishment and welcoming him into the ranks of Paramedics who make a difference every single day! 👏

We've been asked several times, "Why is there an ambulance sitting at the Yellowbank trailhead?"

The answer is simple: It's part of our strategic response system. When the Brookville ambulance is out on an emergency, Yellowbank serves as a designated staging area for an additional unit. This allows us to provide faster response times throughout the county.

We utilize a method known as System Status Management (SSM) — a dynamic deployment strategy that positions ambulances based on real-time demand. This ensures coverage remains strong even when one or more units are committed to calls.

From January 1, 2025, to today, we have repositioned or brought in additional ambulances 324 times to maintain adequate EMS coverage in Franklin County.

With the closure of U.S. 52 on August 1st, we are upstaffing and proactively adjusting our coverage plans to minimize any delays in response. Our priority is — and always will be — to ensure timely care during medical emergencies.

We appreciate the community’s support as we work to keep Franklin County safe!

Supporting Our Neighbors Through Mutual Aid

Did you know that Letts EMS has mutual aid agreements with surrounding Paramedic EMS providers?

Mutual aid is a system used when an EMS agency becomes overloaded with emergency calls. Through these agreements, neighboring services like ours step in to assist, ensuring no call goes unanswered. Mutual aid helps strengthen regional emergency response, improve patient outcomes, and maintain public safety—even during the most demanding situations.

When Letts EMS is requested for mutual aid, we implement system status management to keep Franklin County covered. This means we strategically reposition ambulances to maintain adequate coverage while responding to calls outside the county.

A perfect example of this happened just last Sunday. Fayette County EMS was managing a serious accident that tied up all their ambulances. Letts EMS responded to a seizure call on the south side of Connersville, sending an ambulance from Metamora and a Paramedic chase vehicle from Brookville. At the same time, our Battalion Chief deployed two additional Paramedic ambulances into Franklin County—one staged at Yellowbank, and the other at Andersonville—to ensure local readiness.

This is just one example of how regional cooperation and thoughtful resource management allow us to deliver dependable, high-quality emergency care—no matter the location.

We’re proud to serve Franklin County and support our neighbors when called upon.

EMR class is well underway! The students, who are your local volunteer firefighters, devoted their Saturday to enhancing and learning the skills required to become an EMR.

EMR stands for Emergency Medical Responder and is the first line of patient care in the field. EMR's provide life saving skills to those in need prior to EMS arrival.

These gentlemen volunteered to participate and are clearly committed to their community, Thank You!
