Happy EMS week! Thank you to our first responders for giving of your time to help others!!

Please wear helmets and have your kids wear them too! Been seeing lots of scooters out and about this past few weeks and they are flying!! Please also remind your kids about the rules of the road and looking both ways before crossing!!!

This morning shortly after 8am, Estacada Fire was dispatched to a report of an electric bike accident just a few blocks from the station. The Pt. was coming down 4th Ave at an unknown speed and crashed his bike. This Pt. was not wearing a helmet and sustained serious head injuries. AMR Multnomah and Clackamas Counties and Life Flight Network were requested. The Pt. was flown to OHSU as a trauma system entry. No other Pt. details will be given.

We want to remind all electric bike users that even a quick trip can change in a second. With top speeds of 15–20 mph (or more), electric bikes are faster than they look, and over 40% of injuries involve head trauma.

Why a helmet is NOT optional:🛡️ Reduces brain injury risk by up to 88%.🧠 Protects against life-altering head trauma.🚧 Even low-speed falls can be dangerous on uneven pavement.

Don't wait for an accident to realize the importance. No helmet, no ride! 🪖

The fog seems to be hanging around all parts of our area this week!

Our ambulance and fire teams responded to a rollover crash earlier this morning. The driver was very lucky but was transported to the hospital.

With conditions like this, we want to take a moment to share a few foggy weather driving reminders:

• Make sure your headlights are on. Automatic settings don’t always recognize fog, so please make sure you turn them on and can be seen.

• With freezing temps, fog can turn into icy patches on the road. The road may only look wet but be super slick! Slowing down and leaving a little extra space can really help.

• Even when visibility improves, adding another car length or two gives you more time to react and avoid a possible collision.
