We take for granted that an ambulance will be there when we need them...without the skill of a fleet mechanic, there would be no ambulances( and various other things that need to be fixed!)...much gratitude to Kevin "Doc" Pearl for 30 years of keeping us ready at a moments notice to care for our communities. Thank you Doc!!!

Alexander Megquier is being celebrated for his swift, lifesaving response to a medical emergency involving a dialysis patient. The patient had accidentally opened their fistula and lost a severe amount of blood, leaving them semi-conscious and on the verge of cardiac arrest.

Arriving first on scene, Alexander found the patient covered in blood and immediately put his clinical training into action. With calm precision, he rapidly administered blood products, stabilizing the individual so they could be transported safely to the hospital for advanced care. The patient had lost more than 800 milliliters of blood from the ruptured fistula, yet thanks to Alexander's quick intervention, they survived—and today credit his response with saving their life.

Alexander's skill, dedication, and commitment to patient care reflect the very best of the EMS profession. American Medical Response is proud to recognize Paramedic Alexander Megquier as a Star of Life!

Aaron Durette is being recognized as a Star of Life for his extraordinary actions following a devastating car-versus-pedestrian accident. Upon arrival, Aaron discovered a pedestrian pinned beneath a vehicle, unresponsive and in cardiac arrest. Working closely with the local fire department and fellow first responders, crews rapidly freed the patient.

Immediately after extrication, Aaron began advanced life-saving interventions. He relieved life-threatening pressure on both sides of the patient's chest and secured the patient's airway, enabling them to breathe independently. Moments later, the patient's heart began to beat again.

Aaron's quick thinking, decisive action, and outstanding clinical expertise gave this patient a second chance at life. His composure under pressure and dedication to his community embody the very best of emergency medical services.

American Medical Response is proud to honor Aaron Durette as a Star of Life.
