❤️🚒 National First Responders Day 🚑💙

Today, we pause to honor the people who answer the call—day or night, in every kind of weather, often on the hardest days of someone’s life.

To our firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, police officers, and every member of the emergency services family: thank you. You carry the weight of other people’s worst moments with strength, skill, and heart.

At Sun Prairie Fire & EMS, we’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with our partners and our community. Every alarm, every response, every patient—it’s an honor to serve.

So today, if you see a first responder, take a moment to wave, smile, or simply say “thank you.” It means more than you know.

🚑 TRAINING SPOTLIGHT: High-Fidelity Simulation – Motorcycle vs. Deer Crash 🦌🏍️

Startng out their Monday, Sun Prairie Fire & EMS paramedics participated in a high-fidelity simulation designed to replicate a complex and high-risk scenario: a motorcycle collision with a deer on a rural roadway.

These simulations are more than just training—they're critical opportunities for our crews to sharpen their clinical skills, decision-making, and teamwork in a controlled, yet realistic environment. From managing traumatic injuries and rapid extrication to coordinating a tea during transport, every detail was designed to mirror the challenges we face in the field.

🎯 Why it matters:

High-fidelity simulations allow our paramedics to:

• Practice life-saving interventions under pressure
• Improve communication and coordination
• Identify areas for growth in a safe learning space
• Stay prepared for the unexpected

We train hard so we’re ready when seconds count. 💪 Thank you to our dedicated team for always striving for excellence in patient care and public safety.

UPDATE: Our medics thrive in multiple trainings and are training all the time with new technology and medicines. They step up to help in any situation. On Friday, October 24th our medics stepped up to rescue a kitten, checked the health of the kitchen and found a foster home for this cute kitten. The foster family keeps us updated on the health of this kitten. When the kitten was rescued it weighed 144g, as of today the kitten weighs 254g.
----------------------------------------------------------
Friday, October 24th, the paramedics on shift, responded to assist Sun Prairie Police Department with an animal complaint. As the crew was in the area returning from a call and animal control was out on another call, the crew decided to stop to see if they could assist. The crew was able to get to and rescue a baby kitten out from under a deck. The crew took the kitten back to the station to check over the kittens' health and feed the kitten. The kitten is doing good and placed in a foster home.

🚨 Simulation Saturday at Sun Prairie Fire & EMS! 🚨

Today, our B-Shift Paramedics took part in a high-fidelity simulation designed to sharpen their life-saving skills in a controlled, realistic environment. These simulations mimic the high-pressure scenarios our crews face in the field—giving them the opportunity to practice critical thinking, teamwork, and advanced medical interventions without the real-world risk.

👨‍🚒 Why is this training so important?
Because when seconds count, preparation matters. High-fidelity simulations:

✅ Reinforce clinical decision-making
✅ Improve communication under pressure
✅ Build muscle memory for rare but critical procedures
✅ Help teams identify and correct potential gaps in care

We train like lives depend on it—because they do. 💪

🔧 Behind the Build: Touring Braun Ambulances 🚑

This week, members of Sun Prairie Fire & EMS had the opportunity to tour the Braun Ambulance manufacturing facility, where our three new ambulances were recently built.

Getting a firsthand look at the manufacturing process that went into them allows us to better understand the craftsmanship, engineering, and safety features that go into each unit. It also gives us the chance to ask questions, verify specifications, and ensure that every detail aligns with the needs of our department and community.

By observing the process from the ground up, we’re not just receiving vehicles—we’re gaining insight that helps us make informed decisions and advocate for the best tools to serve Sun Prairie. It’s another way we stay committed to transparency, quality, and responsible use of public funds.

We’re excited to see these ambulances come to life and even more excited to put them to work for the people we serve.

🇺🇸 Honoring Courage and Compassion 🇺🇸
This week, Paramedics Tim, Melinda, and Taylor represented Sun Prairie Fire & EMS at a special ceremony honoring the first responders who answered the call during the tragic incident at Abundant Life Christian School last year.

We are incredibly proud of their service and the professionalism they demonstrated during such a difficult and emotional event. Their presence at this ceremony is a reminder of the strength, resilience, and unity that exists within our emergency response community.

At Sun Prairie Fire & EMS, we are honored to serve alongside so many dedicated professionals—and to be part of a community that comes together to respond, support, and heal when tragedy strikes.
We continue to keep all those affected in our thoughts.
