🌟 What a Year at Mon EMS! 🌟
As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a year filled with powerful moments of care, courage, and community impact — and there’s one story that truly captures what we’re all about.

Earlier this year, a West Virginia University student stepped in when every second mattered. When his friend collapsed outside the MountainLair, Mason Solliday didn’t hesitate — he immediately began CPR, keeping his friend alive until EMS arrived. Because of his quick action and training, and the incredible work of our EMS clinicians, his friend survived and is on the road to recovery.

In recognition of his life‑saving effort, Mon EMS was honored to present Mason and our EMS clinicians with our inaugural Lifesaver Award — celebrating his skill, courage, and commitment to others.

This moment sits alongside so many others this year that remind us why we do this work:

✅ Advanced care innovations like carrying whole blood — making Mon EMS one of fewer than 100 EMS agencies in the country with this capability.
✅ Increased community CPR education and awareness — turning bystanders into life‑savers.
✅ Exceptional teamwork between EMTs, paramedics, and first responders — every call, every day.

🙏 To Mason, to our clinicians, and to everyone in this community who learns skills that save lives — thank you. This year wasn’t just about milestones — it was about real people, real action, and real outcomes.

Here’s to even more lives changed in the year ahead. 💙

🧨 Friday Holiday Movie Safety Tip: Die Hard

Most holiday parties do not require air vents, broken glass, or improvised heroics. 🏢😅

In Die Hard, John McClane spends Christmas Eve crawling through air ducts, dodging bad guys, stepping on glass, and single-handedly redefining “office safety hazards.”
Iconic? Absolutely. Realistic or advisable? Not even a little.

A few real-world reminders for holiday gatherings:
• Please stay out of air vents — you’re not John McClane, and HVAC systems are not escape routes
• Wear shoes — barefoot glass-walking is not a team-building activity
• Drink responsibly — holiday cheer should not turn into action-movie decision-making
• Know your exits (for normal reasons, not movie-villain reasons)
• If something at your workplace explodes, that is not “festive ambiance”… that is a 911 call 🚑

And remember:
The best holiday parties end with people laughing and heading home safely —
not dangling from a fire hose on the side of a building.

Celebrate responsibly, keep it simple, and leave the action sequences to Bruce Willis.

🎁 Wednesday Holiday Movie Safety Tip: The Muppet Christmas Carol

“Tiny Tim’s message was simple: Be kind. Check on each other. No holiday magic required.” ❤️🕯️

In The Muppet Christmas Carol, Tiny Tim reminds everyone—Scrooge included—that compassion is the real spirit of the season. No dramatic ghosts, no singing vegetables, no last-minute miracles…just kindness.

A few real-world reminders from Mon EMS this holiday season:
• Check on neighbors, especially older adults or anyone living alone
• Be patient and kind in crowded stores, busy roads, and long lines (Scrooge had to learn this the hard way)
• Look out for people who might be struggling — emotionally, physically, or financially
• Offer a hand where you can — sometimes the smallest gesture makes the biggest difference
• And remember: you never know whose day you might brighten with a tiny bit of thoughtfulness

Tiny Tim’s wish was that everyone feel cared for and included. We can’t guarantee a singing Dickensian finale…but we can help create a safer, kinder community together.

Bless us all — every one of us.

🎃🎄 Monday Holiday Movie Safety Tip: The Nightmare Before Christmas

Jack Skellington tried to run Christmas AND Halloween…and look how stressed he ended up. 😵‍💫🎅

In The Nightmare Before Christmas, Jack decides he can do it all:
Redesign Christmas, kidnap Santa, manage Halloween Town, pilot a sleigh, avoid being shot out of the sky…It’s a lot. And honestly? It looks a little like December for most adults.

A few real-world reminders from Mon EMS:
• Holiday burnout is real — you don’t have to run two holidays at once
• Take breaks before you start whispering “What’s this? What’s this?” at 3am while wrapping gifts
• Don’t skip meals or sleep — that’s how you end up making Jack-level decisions
• Check in on family and friends who might be struggling (holidays aren’t easy for everyone)
• If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or “Oogie Boogie–adjacent,” reach out for support

Your mental health matters — even more than perfect decorations, endless events, or trying to create “the best holiday ever.”

This season:
Give yourself permission to rest.
You’re a person, not the Pumpkin King and Santa.

Stay grounded, stay balanced, and let’s keep the only holiday nightmares in the movies.

🎄 Friday Holiday Movie Safety Tip: A Christmas Story

Ralphie was warned he’d shoot his eye out… and honestly, the adults weren’t wrong.” 👁️😳

In A Christmas Story, Ralphie spends the entire movie dreaming about a Red Ryder BB pew pew, and well, it doesn't go well.

Real-world reminders from Mon EMS:
• Pew pews should always be secured and locked in the home
• Pew pews can cause serious injuries
• Kids + unsupervised shooting = Ralphie-level disaster
• Protective eyewear is not optional — even for adults
• Never shoot toward houses, windows, roads, pets, or cousins you’re mad at
• And if your glasses get knocked off by flying shrapnel like Ralphie’s did… take a break

We love holiday fun…
just not the kind that ends with our crew explaining eye anatomy in your living room.

Stay safe, shoot smart, and protect those peepers.
