Thank you Chief Joshua Grimes,
Director of Public Safety – Louisville Airport Authority (SDF / LOU),
for the invite to participate in the full-scale exercise “Operation SAFE” at SDF on Tuesday, October 21, 2025.

This is a significant exercise that brings together Fire, EMS, and Law Enforcement agencies from across Jefferson County. The drill is designed to test response capabilities and provide valuable, hands-on experience for first responders as they work through the challenges of a simulated mass casualty incident.

Operation SAFE strengthens teamwork, coordination, and readiness — all essential to keeping our communities safe. 👏🚑🚒🚓

Our REACH family is devastated to share that Susan “Suzie” Smith has passed away from injuries sustained during the accident involving helicopter N414RX on Highway 50 on Monday night.

We will remember Suzie as a pillar of the EMS and healthcare community who saved countless lives by delivering compassionate care in their darkest hours. Suzie’s 50-year career as a nurse included nearly 21 years with REACH, and we are proud to call her our colleague and friend. We hope she is remembered for the light she brought to every call, every shift, and every patient she blessed with her care.

We grieve Suzie’s loss with her family, friends, colleagues and the entire community that she faithfully served. Her impact will be felt for years to come through the lives she touched, the teams she strengthened, and the compassion she embodied. Thank you for keeping Suzie’s loved ones and our REACH family in your thoughts and support for our team during this difficult time.
