Thank you South Central Minnesota EMS System & Elysian Fire Dept of hosting this event, which gathered the First Responders & EMS team with a cardiac arrest survivor. The chain of survival begins with recognition, and continues with the first responders, EMS, the flight crew and then definitive care.
Strong work by our St. Peter EMS team of Kaylie H. & Roman H.
A great way to start Heart Health month.

We join the public safety community in mourning the loss of Tim Bertz.
Tim worked in our Cambridge area as an EMT before joining the St. Paul Fire Department.
We offer our condolences to his family, friends and the communities he served.

The Saint Paul Fire Department mourns the loss of Firefighter Timothy Bertz, who passed away yesterday following a serious medical event. Firefighter Bertz, a recent graduate of the Saint Paul Fire Academy and proud military veteran, served with dedication and left a lasting impact. Our deepest condolences to his wife, family, and loved ones.

A public memorial will be held on December 29 at Maranatha Church in Forest Lake. We request privacy for the family during this difficult time.

Additional details will be made public once available.

It's been a busy time of the year- another season of Santa Parades and Heroes & Helpers.

In this season of gratitude, we'd be remiss to not be thankful for our EMS Team Members who work together to provide exceptional care in our communities.
We're grateful to the members of IAEP R7-167, which ranges from wheelchair transport drivers, EMTs and paramedics, mechanics, dispatchers and calltakers who make our mission happen.
We are grateful for those behind the scenes who contribute to the mission with planning, education and research, and to our first responder teams from law enforcement, fire and beyond who help make it happen.
We love it when a plan comes together. Here's a few recent snapshots from Brownton, Champlin, and C**n Rapids.

Today marks National First Responders Day.
