National First Responders Day 🚑🚒🚁🚨🪖🩺🚓📞

Being a first responder is a rewarding career, but it can come with challenges. Between long hours, stressful calls, sleepless nights, and the emotional weight that comes with the job, it can be difficult.

Despite the challenges, our first responders continue to show up and answer the call.

Today we recognize and thank all first responders for their commitment. Your service does not go unnoticed.

Yesterday we celebrated the retirement of Scott Meador.

On Tuesday, 10/13/2026, Scott successfully completed his last shift. He dedicated 29 years of his life to serving our district and the community we call home. He has been here longer than some of our employees have been alive, and his impact will be felt long after his last shift.

Scott has had many titles. He has been an educator, FTO, relief captain, captain. He has helped train and shape our employees into the medics and EMTs they are today.

Scott also holds the titles husband, father, and grandpa, and more. We have all been fortunate enough to call Scott not only a coworker, but a friend. We are lucky to have worked alongside him, share in his stories, and build a friendship that goes far beyond the walls of this district.

Scott, thank you for your years of service and the legacy you leave behind. You have made this district better, and we are forever grateful for everything you have given us.

Congratulations on your retirement, Scott! ❤️🚑

🚁 Thank you Air Evac 80 - Perryville, MO for the assist yesterday!

Thank you to DeSoto Fire & Rescue and Hematite Fire Protection District

Why do we fly patients?

Depending on a patient’s injuries or their condition, they may need a hospital with specialized capabilities that aren’t available at every local hospital. Air ambulances can help get that patient a higher level of care and to the right hospital faster, especially when the appropriate facility is farther away.

The decision to fly isn’t always an easy one. Our crews consider the patient’s injuries, what the patient needs, which hospital is best equipped to treat them, distance, transport time, and other safety factors.

Ultimately, it’s about getting the right patient to the right hospital as safely and quickly as possible. 🚁🚑🚒

Have you ever seen an emergency vehicle turn its lights and sirens off while driving?

We’re not trying to make it through the stoplight faster, and we’re not rushing to dinner.

When a call is dispatched we respond based on the information provided to us, and sometimes that means responding with lights and sirens.

But sometimes before we arrive, we are disregarded. This means we are notified that our response is no longer needed.

This can happen for a LOT of reasons:

📱 Accidental 911 calls: phones can dial 911 accidentally.

🚗 Crash detection: newer phones and vehicles can automatically alert 911 when they detect what may be a crash. Hard braking, dropping a phone, or sudden movements can sometimes trigger an alert.

🚨 Medical alarms: medical alert devices can be activated accidentally or send an alert when help isn’t actually needed.

☎️ The situation changes: the caller may let dispatch know that help is no longer needed.

And when you see the lights go off, now you know why!🚨🚑

We saw our friends at ARCH Air Medical Service- Carbondale, IL Base doing this trend and we wanted to jump in on the fun!

This job can be tough, it’s important to take an opportunity to lighten the mood and have fun when you can.

We challenge North Jefferson County Ambulance District to recreate the star of life ⭐️
