National Move Over Slow Down Day!!

Today, we’re reminding everyone to MOVE OVER and SLOW DOWN when approaching emergency vehicles and roadside responders.

When you see flashing lights on the side of the road:

➡️ Move over a lane when it’s safe to do so.
➡️ If you can’t move over, slow down and proceed with caution.
➡️ Stay alert and give emergency personnel the space they need to do their jobs safely.

Our firefighters, EMTs, law enforcement officers, tow truck operators, and other roadside workers put themselves at risk every day to help others. A simple move over or slowing down can make the difference between life and death.

Help us protect those who protect you. Every life matters. Every second counts.

Last week, our EMS crews participated in hands-on training focused on recognizing and treating anaphylactic shock a rapidly progressing, life-threatening emergency where early intervention can make all the difference.

Our team worked through realistic scenarios that focused on:

Epinephrine administration recognizing when it is indicated and administering it appropriately.

Respiratory management assessing airway and breathing, providing oxygen and ventilation support, and preparing for a potentially difficult airway.

Rapid assessment and treatment recognizing the signs of anaphylaxis and acting quickly as a team.

Anaphylaxis affects approximately 1 in 20 people at some point in their lifetime. Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis and should be administered promptly when indicated. Respiratory compromise is one of the most serious complications and can progress quickly due to airway swelling and bronchospasm.

Continued hands on training helps our providers stay prepared to respond when seconds matter.
