BEST EMS

Congratulations to Paramedics Matthew Taylor and Zachary Anable on passing scenarios with Dr Bertrand Tarrant County ESD 1. Two more fine gentlemen joining the BEST EMS/TCESD1 team.

Recently, Southlake Fire Department sent a five member team to compete in the EMS SIM Games sponsored by Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Grapevine. The team consisted of Captain Elliott, Engineer Miles, FTO JP Adams, FF Tackett, and FF Beck.

The competition featured simulated EMS incidents evaluated by EMS professionals from multiple agencies. After completing three preliminary scenarios, the Southlake team advanced to the finals against Parker County Hospital District and Grapevine Fire, ultimately earning a third place finish.

In the final round, the team delivered a strong performance and finished with an overall score of 96%, demonstrating a high level of clinical knowledge, teamwork, communication, and scene management under pressure.

Their professionalism, commitment to high quality patient care, and dedication to continuous improvement within our EMS program were evident throughout the event and recognized by both the medical director and event judges.

Congratulations Aubrey Fire on transfusing your first unit whole blood!
