🌟 Celebrating Our EMS Heroes! 🌟
This EMS Week, we want to extend a massive thank you to the incredible Emergency Medical Services professionals who serve our communities every single day.
From the paramedics and EMTs on the front lines to the dispatchers answering the call, your dedication, bravery, and quick thinking save lives. You run toward emergencies when others are running away, providing comfort, care, and hope in some of life's most critical moments.

We especially thank our volunteer medical professionals who dedicate their time to help our community. 

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮—
𝐰𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞.

The long shifts.
The holidays celebrated on different days.
The empty seat at the table that everyone learns to work around.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬—
those who walk into the station knowing
they’ll miss moments they can’t get back,
and go anyway.

You show up when it’s hard,
when it’s inconvenient,
when it costs you time with the people you love most.

And still—
you choose to serve.

Not for recognition.
Not for applause.
But because someone, somewhere, will need you.

And to the families who hold it all together at home—

Today Trimble Volunteers along side with Crane Hill Communities Fire and EMS took marine 3, marine 1 and marine 4 out on Smith Lake for some sonar training. This training is vital due to visibility is often the greatest enemy. Whether due to turbidity, depth, or darkness, what the eye cannot see, technology must reveal. We appreciate all our volunteers who came out to take part.

📢With worsening drought conditions across the state and low relative humidity, State Forester Rick Oates has issued a statewide Fire Alert effective immediately.

Over the past weekend, 50 wildfires burned more than 2,300 acres of forestland across the state. This includes a 500-acre wildfire in Mobile County, one for 412 acres in Coosa County, one for 382 acres in Choctaw County, one for 260 acres in Washington County, and another one for 105 acres in Escambia County.

In the last 30 days, 387 wildfires have burned approximately 15,850 acres of forestland across the state.

“With no measurable rain in sight, the continued extremely dry conditions create dangerous wildfire behavior,” said Oates. “These conditions create the potential for fires to escape easily and spread rapidly, taking longer and more of the agency’s firefighting resources to contain. Fast-moving wildfires not only destroy property and forests but also threaten the lives of citizens and endanger firefighters.”

This Fire Alert will remain in effect until rescinded by the State Forester, at least through Monday, April 20. Conditions will be reevaluated at that time. Permits for outdoor burning will be restricted only to Certified Prescribed Burn Managers. Anyone who burns a field, grassland, or woodland without a burn permit may be subject to prosecution for committing a Class B misdemeanor.

The Alabama Forestry Commission is the state agency committed to protecting Alabama’s invaluable forest assets and its citizens. To report a wildfire, call (800) 392-5679. For more information on the current wildfire situation in the state or any other forestry-related issues, contact your local AFC office or visit the agency website at www.forestry.alabama.gov
