Safety on scene is the #1 priority for every provider. Each unit has reflective vests and ballistic vests to protect us on specific calls. Virginia also has a specific law known as the MOVE OVER law.

As we continue EMS Week, Today is Education Day!
Training and skills practice doesn't always come from the training center or calls. It comes from our members getting together to review skills and making it a team effort.

Today begins EMS WEEK!!!
Health and Wellness, and Resiliency is all about checking up on each other and taking care of ourselves. Our system has a Peer-Support Team, Therapy Dogs, and MANY other resources for mental health in first responders.
