🚑🔥 A HISTORIC MILESTONE FOR HCES — 20 YEARS IN THE MAKING! 🔥🚑

October 9, 2026 marks an exciting new chapter for Harrison County Emergency Squad (HCES)!

Ambulances 639 and 679 successfully completed their inspections today by West Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services (WV OEMS) staff, marking a major milestone in the continued growth and modernization of our fleet.

These brand-new 2027 Wheeled Coach Citi Medic ambulances are the 15th and 16th units in the HCES fleet—and represent the first new ambulance additions in 20 years!

📈 A NEW RECORD FOR HCES!

HCES has never operated a fleet of this size. While this is a historic milestone, it is important to recognize that our fleet has always been managed through a fleet replacement program designed to maintain reliable, dependable ambulances for the communities we serve. These new additions represent the next step in that ongoing commitment, expanding our capabilities while continuing to invest in the equipment, technology, and resources our crews need.

🔥 BUILT FOR THE FUTURE. EQUIPPED TO SAVE LIVES. 🔥

Each 2027 Wheeled Coach Citi Medic is equipped with an impressive lineup of advanced emergency medical technology:

❤️ ZOLL Zenix Cardiac Monitors — Advanced cardiac monitoring and defibrillation capabilities.

🫁 ZOLL Z Vent Ventilators — Advanced ventilatory support for critically ill patients.

📡 Motorola APX 8500 Dual-Band Radios — Advanced communications technology to support reliable coordination.

👁️ McGRATH Video Laryngoscopes — Enhanced visualization for advanced airway management.

💪 Stryker LUCAS 3 Mechanical CPR Devices — Consistent, high-quality mechanical chest compressions during cardiac arrest.

⚡ Stryker Power-PRO Cots and Power-LOAD Systems — Advanced patient handling technology designed to improve safety for patients and providers.

🎨 A NEW LOOK FOR A NEW ERA! Both units feature new graphics and livery, giving HCES a refreshed, modern appearance that reflects our continued commitment to professional, progressive emergency medical services.

This milestone is about more than adding two ambulances. It’s about growth, preparedness, investment, and ensuring HCES has the resources necessary to meet the changing needs of our community.

From maintaining a structured fleet replacement program to reaching an all-time high of 16 units, HCES continues to move forward with a clear focus on operational readiness, crew safety, and delivering exceptional patient care.

A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make this investment possible, to our dedicated HCES personnel, and to the WV OEMS staff who completed today’s inspections.

20 YEARS. TWO NEW AMBULANCES. 16 UNITS STRONG. A NEW ERA FOR HCES! 🚑🚑

🚑 A Milestone Worth Celebrating! 🚑

Today marked an exciting achievement for our Critical Care Transport (CCT) program as our team successfully completed four Critical Care Transport missions in a single day.

Just seven months ago, this unit was placed into service with a vision of expanding advanced critical care capabilities for our community and our regional healthcare partners. Today’s milestone is a testament to the growing demand for this specialized service and the dedication of our paramedics, EMTs, communications staff, and hospital partners who make it possible.

Every CCT transport represents a patient who requires advanced monitoring, specialized medications, and a highly trained clinical team to safely move them between healthcare facilities.

We’re incredibly proud of our crews for their professionalism and commitment to delivering exceptional patient care, no matter the challenge.

Thank you to our healthcare partners and the communities we serve for trusting us with these critical missions. Here’s to continuing to grow, serve, and provide the highest level of prehospital and interfacility critical care.

Progress through investment and teamwork.

HCES Company 63 has undergone significant exterior improvements that will benefit our crews, our equipment, and the community we proudly serve. Recent upgrades include the installation of a new retaining wall, improved drainage infrastructure, and fresh paving throughout the area.

These enhancements are more than cosmetic, they improve safety, help protect our facility from water damage, provide better access for emergency vehicles, and ensure our station remains ready to answer the call when our community needs us most.

A sincere thank you to everyone involved in planning and completing this project. Your hard work and dedication have made a lasting impact on Company 63 and the future of Harrison County Emergency Squad.

We’re proud to continue investing in the places where our first responders work every day.
