Please join us in welcoming two new members to Highland IAFF Local 3672!

We are incredibly proud to officially welcome Kaitlin Baker and Randilyn Kluemke to our Highland EMS family as they have both successfully completed their probationary periods!

Kaitlin Baker has been a paramedic for just over a year. A graduate of Lewis and Clark Community College, she began her career in Alton before transitioning to Staunton and eventually finding her way to Highland EMS. Kaitlin made history as our first transfer paramedic, and she has quickly become an important part of our team; not only working on our transfer unit, but also responding to 911 calls when the front-line truck is busy.

Outside of EMS, Kaitlin is a stepmom to two wonderful teenagers and the world’s best auntie to her three nieces and nephews. She brings an incredible passion for her career, a contagious personality, and a whole new energy to our station. We are lucky to have her!

Randilyn Kluemke has been a paramedic for just over four years. Originally from Texas, she has worked as a paramedic in both Texas and Arkansas, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge with her to Highland EMS.

Outside of the ambulance, Randilyn is a proud mom to two beautiful daughters and an avid gardener. She brings kindness, compassion, and experience to our team, and we are excited to see all that she will continue to contribute to Highland EMS.

Please help us congratulate Kaitlin and Randilyn on completing their probation and officially becoming members of IAFF Local 3672! We are proud to have both of you on our team and can’t wait to see what the future holds!

Welcome to the family, ladies!

One Year Remembering Gavin

One year ago today, we lost our friend, our brother, and a member of our IAFF family, Gavin Schlarmann.

A year may have passed, but the pain of losing someone so special never truly disappears. Gavin left an impact on everyone fortunate enough to know him, and his memory continues to live on in the stories we share, the moments we remember, and the lives he touched. Today, the members of Highland IAFF Local 3672 pause to remember Gavin - not only for the loss we feel, but for the person he was, the friendship he gave, and the brotherhood he will always be a part of.

Though he may no longer be standing beside us, he will never be forgotten.

We remember. We honor. We carry you with us.

Live like Gavin.

Every year, emergency rooms treat thousands of people for fireworks-related injuries. Many victims don't suffer just one injury they experience multiple traumatic injuries, including severe burns, eye injuries, hand and finger amputations, hearing damage, and facial injuries that can have lifelong consequences.

This Independence Day, don't let a few minutes of excitement turn into a lifetime of recovery. Fireworks are not worth the risk.

🎆 Leave the fireworks to the professionals and enjoy a licensed public display instead. Protect yourself, your family, and your community by making safety your top priority this holiday.

A huge THANK YOU to the Highland Parks & Recreation Playground Summer Camp for spending part of your day with us at Highland EMS, the Highland Fire Department, and the Highland Police Department! We loved having the opportunity to show you our ambulances, fire trucks, and police vehicles, talk about what we do each day, and answer all of your great questions. Your excitement, curiosity, and enthusiasm made the visit a lot of fun for all of us.

Building relationships with the youth in our community is one of the best parts of our jobs, and we hope we helped inspire some future firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and first responders!

Thank you to the camp staff for organizing the visit and to all the campers for making it such a memorable day. We hope you enjoyed your time with us as much as we enjoyed having you.

Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy the rest of your summer!
