Your commitment to helping others extends far beyond emergency response and demonstrates the true spirit of the fire service. We are honored to have your support as we work to expand our outreach efforts throughout the communities we serve.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us make a difference.

🚨 EMS and 911 professionals should be aware of three fentanyl-related substances increasingly found in the illicit drug supply: carfentanil, fluorofentanyl, and methylfentanyl.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA) is alerting responders that these substances have been identified nationwide, may not show up on standard drug screenings, and can require multiple doses of naloxone during an overdose response.
