CONGRATULATIONS CHIEF LUH!
For more than 45 years, Assistant EMS Chief of Operations Larry Luh has dedicated his life to public safety, 36 with Manatee County EMS. Today, was his last day at work & it was an emotional send-off for all of us. We wish you the best Chief Luh!
I may have wanted to get a dog just so he could enter a bracket into the @TSBI_XVIII Don’t tell @GenevieveJudge
Look out for Chief’s bracket! He’s a big fan of the @PackMensBball and @UConnMBB teams #tsbi
❤️LOVE HAS NO BOUNDARIES: It was a busy day for Manatee County EMS! Crews from Alpha 11 & 13 along District Chief Evans went to a fire to assist @SMFR911 They provided rehab to furry friends & after tender loving care, were returned to their owner. That’s a doggone good day!🐶❤️
3 cheers for Manatee County Animal Welfare Field Services Supervisor Steven Bell! 👏 Last week, he rescued a coyote trapped in a saltwater canal in Bradenton. The coyote sustained minor injuries & was taken to Wildlife Inc. for medical care & rehabilitation.
