If we've spoken in the last 3 years, then you've probably heard me talking about writing a book on my career in EMS. Friends, Running Reds is finally here! Click here to check it out: https://t.co/iQBRlpEBqe

Most people reserve contact with paramedics for their first, worst or last day. Let's take a moment to appreciate their dedication and service during National Paramedic Services Week.

Did you give or receive a gift over the holidays that stood out? The internet was overflowing with gift ideas. One unlikely item that showed up on my feed is an #AED. Are A.E.Ds worth it for home use? Let's talk about it! #paramedic #safety #cpr #emergency

Welcome back to the final chapter of our journey through the changes in #design and #safety in ambulances. Y2k had come and gone as the pre-hospital care delivery model changed again... 🚑 #EMS #ambulance #paramedics

Hi, my name is Chris, and I’m nostalgic. Even after retiring, I still enjoy swapping stories with other responders. On that note, this Saturday, I'll be at the International Windsor Area First Responders Collectors Meet from 9-2. Hope to see you there! https://t.co/l6bnYL3TMU

The term "fraternity" encompasses many meanings. In this week's blog, I look at the different fraternities I've had the honour of being a part of in my time in EMS. https://t.co/S3mrKjFuTc #Fraternity #EMS #FirstResponders #Paramedic

[Chris Darby @cdarby54]

There is always a lot at stake when disaster strikes. When you dial 911, you want help NOW, full stop. This week, I spoke to @FanshaweCollege's Emergency Telecommunications students. Read my latest blog here: https://t.co/Ziwjbqr7TN #Dispatch #SchoolofPublicSafety #FirstResponder

[Chris Darby @cdarby54]

@MLPS911 Congratulations to you all on your new careers. Now your real education begins with your new friends and mentors at MLPS.

[Chris Darby @cdarby54]

Like many folks, I have weathered various bumps around past #Holiday seasons. Often, we #FirstResponders position ourselves near the bottom of the list of getting help when trouble strikes. It’s not selfish to take care of ourselves. This week's blog: https://t.co/MGTFRrxPTs

[Chris Darby @cdarby54]

Thanks for your patience. The store is now stocked with #EMS, #Fire, #Police, #Dispatch, and Volunteer Fire merch! I hope you enjoy the items. You deserve recognition for your service. ENJOY! https://t.co/lxX4hHlPZ3

[Chris Darby @cdarby54]

Happy #CyberMonday! I am officially releasing Running Reds Merch as of today. Check out my blog for more information: https://t.co/gFArB0Su4b

Halloween is only forty-eight hours away, though I am unsure whether the correct emotion leading up to the frightful night should be fear or disappointment. Find out why in this week's blog: https://t.co/UoyELhWmdp #halloween #EMS #AirAmbulance #Nurses #onpoli

As a citizen, have you ever questioned or criticized emergency responders’ actions? I don’t speak for all responders, but I hope this brief insight into a former first responder’s thoughts helps. https://t.co/mFKQK5Dbh3 #FirstResponders #Police #Emergency #healthcare

With the start of a new month, it's time to take stock of what I have to be thankful for, and I’m happy with the results! This week's blog: https://t.co/Q7lM0oSX2I #happiness #thankful #positivity #ems #firstresponder #retirement

[Chris Darby @cdarby54]

This week, I was invited to an information meeting aimed at recruiting future first responders to the Scouting organization @1stdelawaremed. It got me thinking about the components of a successful career in #EMS. This week's blog: https://t.co/oBVf9L2Nnx #Scouts #FirstResponders
