Training never stops because emergencies don’t! 🚒🚑

​A huge thank you to Weakley County Rescue Squad for having Rescue Lieutenant Steven Dolan lead tonight’s Basic Extrication class. Today focused on classroom theory, with hands-on technical training coming up later this week. 🛠️

​Humboldt Area Rescue Squad/EMS is committed to education not just for our own members, but for our neighboring agencies and the community. Mastering these life-saving skills ensures that when the call comes, we are all prepared, professional, and ready to serve.

​We are very proud of Lt. Dolan for sharing his expertise and strengthening our local teams! 🤝

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our own, Deputy Kenny Smith. Our hearts are truly broken as we grieve the loss of a great friend, colleague, and dedicated public servant.

Deputy Kenny faithfully served the citizens of Gibson County for many years. He also served the City of Humboldt with the same commitment, integrity, and compassion. He was a true servant to his community, and his impact will be felt for many years to come.

Gibson County has lost a great man, and we are all better for having known and worked beside him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. May they find comfort in knowing how deeply he was respected and loved.
