⚠️ Slow Down. Move Over. Stay Alert. ⚠️
Today, while responding to a medical emergency, our ambulance had its emergency lights activated and was maneuvering across lanes to safely back into a driveway where a patient needed urgent care.
Despite this, multiple vehicles chose to pass the ambulance — some even driving through the ditch to get around. Two vehicles attempted to pass at the same time and nearly struck our ambulance in the process.
Let that sink in.
This isn’t just reckless — it’s dangerous and unacceptable. Our crews are out there to help members of your community, possibly even someone you know or love. When emergency vehicles are operating, every second counts, and every unsafe action puts lives at risk — including yours, our providers, and the patient waiting for help.
🚨 When you see emergency lights:
• Slow down
• Move over
• Be patient
• Never attempt to pass in unsafe conditions
We understand everyone has somewhere to be — but nothing is more important than a life on the line.
Please do your part to keep our responders — and our community — safe.
