🔥 **Help Us Keep Seminole Warm!**
Seminole EMS is teaming up with **Blue Skies Mutual Aid** to collect **space heaters** for families who need a little extra warmth this winter.

📦 **Donations can be dropped off at:**
Seminole EMS Station – 401 NW 8th Street

❤️ If YOU or someone you know needs a space heater, call **Blue Skies Mutual Aid at 432-201-4598** and they’ll make sure you’re taken care of.

🚑 Because our crews run wild hours and stay busy on calls, we are **no longer a pick-up site**—we don’t want anyone waiting in the cold for us!

Please share to help us reach as many families as possible! ❄️💙

Just a reminder! We hope to see you there!

📣📣📣 Seminole EMS is proud to welcome Texas House Representative Ken King!📣📣📣

Representative King, author of HB 3000, will be joining us for a Town Hall Visit on December 10th, 2025 from 3:30–4:30 PM.

HB 3000 was a crucial piece of legislation passed during the 89th Legislative Session, securing $90 million in funding for Rural EMS—funding that is helping agencies like ours purchase much-needed ambulances and lifesaving equipment.

During his visit, Representative King will also share and discuss his priorities for House District 88, offering the community an opportunity to hear updates, ask questions, and engage directly with their elected representative.

We invite everyone to stop by, say hello, and be part of this important conversation.

📞 **Friendly Reminder: Our Morning Call Program is still going strong!**

For **45 years**, Seminole EMS has proudly offered this free service to our community. Elderly couples and widowed residents needing a daily wellness check are encouraged to sign up.

Here’s how it works:
✔️ After a simple application, we add you to our morning call list.
✔️ We call every day between **9:00 AM and 11:00 AM** to make sure you’re doing well.
✔️ If we’re unable to reach you after **three attempts**, we respond to your residence for a **wellness check**.
✔️ As part of the application, we securely store a house key—kept in a **locked box inside a locked room**—so we can check on you without causing damage to your home.

This program gives peace of mind to families who live out of town and helps our older citizens maintain their independence while staying safe.

📲 **Sign up today by calling Seminole EMS at 432-758-8816!**

Happy Thanksgiving from our family at Seminole EMS to yours! 🦃🧡
We hope you all have a wonderful day filled with good food, laughter, and time with the people you love most.

As you celebrate, here are a few quick Thanksgiving Safety Tips to help keep the holiday joyful and accident-free:

🦃 Cooking Safety:
• Never leave the stove or oven unattended.
• Keep kids and pets away from hot surfaces and sharp objects.

🔥 Fryer Safety:
• Always fry your turkey outdoors, on level ground, away from structures.
• Make sure the turkey is completely thawed to avoid flare-ups.
• Never leave a fryer unattended
• Have a fire extinguisher nearby—just in case.

🚗 Travel Safety:
• Buckle up every trip, every time.
• Don’t drink and drive—use a designated driver or ride service.
• Watch for increased traffic and give yourself extra travel time.

We’re thankful for this community and proud to serve you.
Have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving! 🧡🍂🦃
