Nebraska Community Blood Bank (NCBB) has declared a blood emergency as supplies drop to less than a two-day supply overall and under one day for type O blood, the most critical type used in emergency care. The shortage comes at the start of summer’s “trauma season,” when hospitals typically see a rise in serious injuries, including car crashes and other emergencies requiring large volumes of blood. Please Join us on June 22nd for our blood drive and save a life!

🚒 A historic night for Bennington Fire & Rescue

Last Wednesday, Bennington Fire officially recognized and promoted its first-ever career captains during a special ceremony attended by family, friends, and fellow firefighters. Captains Brad Utterback, Eric Shockley, and Eric Paulsen were honored as they stepped into their new leadership roles.

“This is a step of adding more management leadership to our organization,” Fire Chief Dan Mallory said. “We’re in very good hands.”

Read more about the ceremony, the department’s growth, the acting captains who paved the way, and what this milestone means for the future of Bennington Fire & Rescue here:

"We can still be brave—even without the mustache."

…but it definitely takes a little extra courage to shave it all off and start from scratch. 😅💪

A special shoutout to Bennington Fire & Rescue for going all in to support YES through Mustaches for Kids Omaha. We’re grateful for your willingness to show up and shave for the young people in our community! 🙌🙏❤

If anyone else out there is feeling brave, there's still time join them! The fun starts tonight: 👇

Car seats are one of the most important tools for keeping children safe on the road, but studies consistently show that many are installed or used incorrectly. Even small installation mistakes can significantly reduce a car seat’s ability to protect a child during a crash. A proper car seat safety check helps ensure that the seat is securely installed, the harness fits your child correctly, and the seat is appropriate for your child’s age, height, and weight.

Deputy Andrea Wells is a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician and will perform car seat inspections free of charge to ensure your kids are as safe as possible in your vehicle. Scan the QR code or follow the link in the comments to schedule your inspection today.
