🚨 Cold Weather Safety Tip – Know the Signs of Hypothermia:
Spending too much time in cold temperatures can be dangerous, especially for kids. Watch for:
• 🥶 Uncontrollable shivering
• 🗣️ Slurred speech or confusion
• 😴 Extreme fatigue or weakness

If you do head outside briefly, bundle up in layers 🧤🧣, take frequent warm-up breaks, and be cautious of icy conditions.

🏠 Stay warm. Stay safe. And enjoy your snow day — from inside!

Today marks one year since the loss of Captain Shelly Estes.
A leader, a servant, and a friend. Captain Estes’ dedication to this profession and to those she served will never be forgotten.

Her impact lives on through the countless lives she touched, the example she set, and the legacy she left within our EMS family. We honor her service, her sacrifice, and the compassion she showed every day.

We continue to remember her, today and always. 💙🚑
Never forgotten. Always honored.

Earlier this month we had the privilege of coming together as one team for the Sumner County EMS Dinner and Awards Banquet. An evening set aside to pause, reflect, and recognize the people who make this service what it is.

In a profession that rarely slows down, this banquet means more than just a meal or an award. It is a moment to step away from the radios, the calls, and the controlled chaos, and to gather as coworkers, friends, and family. It is a reminder that behind every unit number is a person who has chosen to serve this community with professionalism, compassion, and sacrifice.

We proudly recognized Years of Service milestones, Educational Achievments and Liscensure Upgrades.

5 Years of Service - Stephanie Binion, Deputy Chief Russell Houske, Noah Stinson and Alex Smith

That kind of cooperation speaks volumes about the strength of public safety in our region.

🥓☕ Serving Those Who Serve ☕🥓

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting an Emergency Services Centers Christmas Breakfast for our local first responders. From country ham biscuits to sausage biscuits, it was a small way to say thank you to the men and women who serve our community every day.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support the dedicated responders who put others first—often before they’ve had breakfast.

Thank you to all who stopped by, and thank you for everything you do for Sumner County. 🚑🚒🚓

On Monday and Tuesday night, Sumner County EMS was honored to play a small role in something truly special — Christmas 4 Kids. 🎄

Our crews were proud to serve as medical standby during this overwhelming yet incredible event, helping ensure a safe and joyful experience for everyone involved. Hundreds of children traveled by tour buses from the Gallatin Civic Center to the Walmart in Hendersonville, where they experienced the magic of Christmas in a way they’ll never forget.

Events like this are a powerful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together with one goal in mind: taking care of our kids. Seeing so many volunteers, organizations, and first responders working side by side is what makes Sumner County such a special place to call home.

We’re grateful to be part of a community that shows up — especially during the Christmas season. ❤️

Sumner County EMS was honored to join Gallatin Police Deptartment, Sumner County Sherriff’s Department, Gallatin Fire Department, and many others in the community for this morning’s Shop with a Cop. It’s always a blessing to witness the joy this event brings to children across our community. Thank you, GPD, for inviting us to be part of such a meaningful day!
