🚑❤️ Training Today. Saving Lives Tomorrow. ❤️🚒

Every Thursday, City of Paris EMS and Paris Fire Department crews come together to practice High-Performance CPR (HP-CPR) through realistic, hands-on training scenarios.

Why do we do this? Because when someone suffers a cardiac arrest, every second matters. High-performance CPR focuses on delivering high-quality chest compressions, minimizing interruptions, and coordinating our teams to give patients the best possible chance of survival.

These weekly practices allow our crews to sharpen their skills, strengthen teamwork, and build the muscle memory needed to perform under pressure when someone's life is on the line.

For our community, this means more than just training. It means your local first responders are continually working to improve the care they provide to your family, friends, and neighbors when they need it most.

We may practice these scenarios every Thursday, but we do it for the moments when there's no time to practice and everything has to come together.

💪 Better training. Stronger teamwork. Better chances of survival

Great day helping educate the future of healthcare for our region…

A&M Texarkana nursing students are getting a little extra real world experience this morning as the Texas Division of Emergency Management and the University run a day long emergency exercise on campus. If you see people being evacuated from buildings today on stretchers and in wheelchairs, THIS IS JUST AN EXERCISE.

The NETRAC region is growing and advancing our capabilities in big ways to provide the absolute best care to our communities. Come check us out and see all the great work that is happening…

This is what we mean when we talk about bringing big-city care close to home.

City of Paris EMS is one of only two ground EMS agencies in the region between DFW, Tyler, and Texarkana with the ability to administer whole blood in the field.

We’re proud to bring this advanced, lifesaving treatment to the citizens of Paris and Lamar County. Thank you to our partners, NETRAC and Carter Blood Care for helping to make it happen. Our families, friends, and neighbors deserve access to the very best care available, and we’re committed to making that happen right here at home. 🚑🩸

PARIS, TEXAS – The City of Paris EMS is pleased to announce a new prehospital whole blood program that lets paramedics administer low-titer O whole blood to qualifying patients before they reach the hospital.

In trauma and medical emergencies, severe blood loss is one of the leading causes of preventable death. When someone is bleeding heavily, every second matters. The faster lifesaving blood can be delivered, the greater the chance of survival.

Thats why the State of Texas, Northeast Texas Regional Advisory Council TSA-F, City of Paris EMS, and Carter BloodCare is leading the way in expanding prehospital blood programs — ensuring that blood transfusions can begin before a patient even reaches the hospital.
