Big shoutout to our crews for an incredible effort over the last 24 hours!

Our team handled 20 calls in 24 hours! This includes 12 calls that happened in just 12 hours, with only one call going to mutual aid. Crews worked tirelessly transporting patients to Winsted ED, Charlotte Hospital, and St. Mary’s in Waterbury, alongside the support of Winsted PD and FD.

Special recognition to yesterday’s team: Jillian, Jenna, Ben, Jeremy, and the night crew of Zack and Irene! you all absolutely rocked it! Thank you for your hard work, professionalism, and commitment to our community every single day.

Congratulations to Mike Buttrick and Miranda, two of our dedicated volunteers! Today, they successfully completed different assessment scenarios. Both properly identified and treated Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) while following our protocols. To create a more realistic environment, our CAE Ares SIM manikin "stepped in". The manikin has life like features incl. the ability to obtain blood pressure, pulse rates, and other vital signs.

Great work by their mentors, Mike Messenger and Josh Drobena, for helping prepare them to succeed on their upcoming exams!

As EMS Week comes to a close, Winsted Ambulance would like to recognize the dedication, teamwork, and commitment shown every day by our ambulance volunteers and Northeast Fire Rescue staffing members.

This week, our crews came together for a barbecue to celebrate the strong partnerships and friendships that help make our service possible. EMS Week is a time to recognize the providers who answer the call day and night, delivering emergency care, compassion, and support to the communities we all serve.

Thank you to all EMS professionals, firefighters, police, dispatchers, and mutual aid partners for everything you do to keep our communities safe.

On Sunday we finished Day Two of TECC!

Day two of our TECC class put providers skills into action through hands on patient drills, building IFAK bags, and putting trauma training from day one into practice. The day wrapped up with a mock active shooter MCI drill in the school cafeteria, testing providers’ skills under pressure.

A big props to East Coast Tactical for putting on a great class for us! Thank you to the CSP Police Cadets for volunteering as patients and helping create realistic scenarios, and to Hinsdale School for the use of their building.
