We would like to thank Reabe Air for hosting an educational familiarization meeting tonight. Area responders had the opportunity to view aircraft, ask questions of mechanics about safety and pilot access. EMS was able to speak with pilots about trauma care. We are lucky to have so many engaging community partners.

We were honored to participate in Kiwanis Blue Ribbon kids day. We focused on teaching Stop the Bleed for life saving and a take home Narcan Program.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, often recognized as Blue Ribbon Month, dedicated to raising awareness, promoting child safety, and strengthening families. The blue ribbon symbolizes the bruises suffered by abused children, originating in 1989 as a memorial tribute. It serves as a reminder to report abuse and protect children

Today members of WCEMS, Waushara County Sheriff's Office, Waushara County Emergency Management and Wautoma PD joined others in the region for a course on Mass Casualty Incidents. The course was presented by Wisconsin Emergency Management and taught by Robert Conrad. We highly recommend his engaging educational style as this has been one of the best courses for MCI. Every scenario was tailored to our local region which help us practice with our tools in the event of an incident.

"Some-bunny has to be on duty, and today it’s us. While you’re out hunting eggs, we’re out hunting addresses—so please make sure your house numbers are easy to find, your grills stay a safe distance from the house, and you don’t put all your ‘eggs’ in one basket when it comes to designated drivers. Have an egg-stra safe and hoppy Easter, Waushara County!

This week members from WCEMS, DHS Crisis and Waushara County Sheriffs completed a 40 hour course in Crisis Intervention Training (CIT). It is a community-based program designed to educate law enforcement and first responders on handling mental health crises. It provides skills in de-escalation, reduces arrests by diverting individuals to services, and enhances safety for both officers and the public.

We would like to thank Heartland Farms for hosting the Traffic Incident Management class tonight. Along with Coloma Fire for setting up the education. Traffic Incident Management (TIM) is a coordinated, multi-disciplinary process used by public safety and transportation agencies to detect, respond to, and clear traffic incidents. The primary goal is to restore normal traffic flow as safely and quickly as possible to prevent secondary crashes and reduce congestion.
