Tonight members of South Country Ambulance participated alongside the Brookhaven Fire Department in a complex Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) training scenario.

This hands-on exercise provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen emergency response skills, teamwork, and coordination between EMS and fire personnel.

Thank you to the Brookhaven Fire Department for including us in this training opportunity and for their continued dedication to preparedness and interagency cooperation!

Christina is now the newest EMT from our department to join the ranks of Registered Nurses. Her dedication, hard work, and commitment to advancing her career in the medical field have certainly paid off.

We are incredibly proud of you, Christina, and wish you nothing but continued success as you begin this exciting new chapter as a Registered Nurse! 👏🩺

The South Country Ambulance Marine Units were out early this morning deploying on the water at 0500 hours to be prepared on post by 0545 hours for the Smith Point Triathlon. Our units were later met by Mastic Beach Fire Department, Mastic Fire Department and Brookhaven Fire Department’s boats. South Country volunteers worked as part of a combined public safety plan that is in place to ensure our citizens can safely enjoy our county and all it has to offer. All went smoothly and there were no injuries or medical emergencies on the water.

From there we traveled over to the Paddle to the Point race in Bellport to standby in case of an emergency. Great morning for both events!

Congratualtions to all involved 🏊‍♀️ 🌊
