Check the key at the bottom of the schedule to see which Advisor is assigned to each shift, then send your ride-along request in the appropriate Advisor chat!

📚 School is back. Schedules are chaos.

So we're giving everyone a minute to figure out where they're supposed to be and when. 😂

There will be no Explorer ride-alongs in September, but we'll be getting everything sorted and will have you back on the truck soon!

Until then... good luck with the new semester. 🚑📓☕️

📚🚑 BACK TO SCHOOL: EMS EDITION

School is officially back, and we're sending two of our own to the classroom!

Yesterday, Explorer Isaac started EMT class while Leader Izzy starts AEMT class tonight! 👀📚

From learning the basics to taking the next step in our EMS careers, we're both going back to school and adding a few more letters behind our names. 😂

Good luck to everyone starting a new semester, especially our future EMT! We can't wait to see where this next step takes you! 💙🚑

🚨 Putting triage into practice!

Our Explorers wrapped up their MCI training with a hands-on scenario featuring real patient actors and plenty of opportunities to practice SALT triage, lifesaving interventions, scene size-up, and the different roles that keep an MCI organized. 🚑

From Incident Command to Triage, Treatment, and Transport, our Explorers got to experience how all the pieces come together when the number of patients starts to outnumber the resources available.

Huge thank you to everyone who volunteered to help make this training possible! 💙

🚨 Triage: It’s more than just picking a color.

At our next Explorer meeting, we’ll be diving deeper into triage and what happens when there are more patients than resources. We’ll practice using the SALT Triage System while also exploring some of the tougher questions that come with mass casualty incidents—like consent, ethics, and making difficult decisions when you can’t treat everyone at once.

Come ready to think, make some tough calls, and maybe question your answer a few times. 👀

☀️📚 Before school starts back up...

Make the most of the last weeks of summer by getting on the truck! 🚑

The August ride-along schedule is posted. Checked-off Explorers can contact two Explorer Leaders to reserve a spot.

🚑 Adventure is just one ride-along away.

🚨 One patient is challenging... what about twenty?

Join us on the 19th as we begin learning about mass casualty incidents, the SALT Triage System, and how EMS, fire, law enforcement, dispatch, and hospitals work together to save as many lives as possible.

You'll learn how responders rapidly triage patients, why priorities change during an MCI, and how teamwork plays a critical role in these high-pressure situations.

See you Sunday! 🚑

🚨 We saved the newest for last! 🚑

Meet Leader Olivia! After recently joining Baldwin as an EMT, she didn't waste any time becoming one of our newest Explorer Leaders! From baking and binge-watching old westerns to spending time with her dog, Mayblossom, Olivia brings a great mix of enthusiasm, knowledge, and positivity to the team.

Help us give Olivia a big congratulations and a warm Baldwin welcome! We can't wait to see the impact she'll have on our Explorers. 💙👏🎉
