🚒🚑 Training Together to Serve Our Community Better 🚑🚒

Last night, crews from Whitemarsh Community Ambulance Association, Barren Hill Volunteer Fire Company, and Spring Mill Fire Company came together for a hands-on vehicle rescue training exercise focused on scene size-up, vehicle stabilization, and coordinated incident operations.

Training side-by-side allows our firefighters and EMS providers to strengthen communication, improve teamwork, and practice the critical skills needed during complex vehicle rescue incidents. These exercises help ensure a safe and effective response for both patients and responders when real emergencies occur.

A special thank you to all of the members who dedicated their time to training and to our partner agencies for their continued commitment to excellence and collaboration.

Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes looks at how our crews prepare to serve the community.

☀️ With hotter days expected throughout the week, many of us are looking for ways to enjoy the sunshine. Whether you’re relaxing in a hammock like Lindsay after completing her truck check or spending time outdoors with family and friends, don’t forget to make sun safety part of your routine! ☀️

🧴 Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

🕶️ Wear sunglasses that block UV rays to protect your eyes.

👒 Choose lightweight, light-colored clothing and wear a wide-brimmed hat when possible.

🌳 Take breaks in the shade, especially during the hottest part of the day.

💧 Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and help your body regulate its temperature.

⏰ The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so use extra caution during those hours.

Sunburns can happen quickly and increase your risk of skin damage, skin cancer, and heat-related illnesses. Taking a few simple precautions can help keep you safe while enjoying everything summer has to offer.

Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy the sunshine responsibly! ☀️🚑

Another day, another performance from Captain Bob. #🕺

Whether he’s leading the crew, checking off the to-do list, or breaking out his signature dance moves, Captain Bob always knows how to keep things entertaining around the station.

We’re still not sure if he’s practicing for a call or auditioning for a dance competition… but either way, we’re here for it. 😄
