🚑 ANOTHER LIFE-SAVING AWARD FROM LAURELVILLE! 🚑

Hocking County EMS would like to recognize these two young men for their quick thinking and outstanding actions during a very stressful situation.

After hearing that one of their moms had collapsed and was experiencing a seizure, these two boys immediately jumped into action. They quickly contacted 911 and got emergency services dispatched.

While waiting for help to arrive, they remained on the phone with our 911 dispatchers and followed their instructions throughout the emergency. Their ability to stay focused, listen, and take action during such a frightening moment helped get their mom the care she needed.

Great job, boys! 👏❤️

Your quick thinking, courage, and willingness to help when someone needed you most are exactly what makes a difference in our community.

You are true heroes in your community, and you should be incredibly proud of yourselves! 🚑💙

From all of us at Hocking County EMS — GREAT JOB!

🚑 Hocking County EMS would like to congratulate this young man and present him with a Great Save Award! 👏❤️

When he and his mom found their elderly friend had fallen and was bleeding, they didn’t hesitate. This young man immediately jumped into action, running to the car to grab the phone and get 911 dispatched.

They stayed with their friend, took action, and made sure help was on the way.

This is what looking out for your friends and neighbors is all about. Young man, you did an outstanding job! Your quick thinking, courage, and willingness to help made a difference when it mattered most.

Your actions are a great example of how anyone can make a difference in an emergency.

You are a true hero in your community, and you should be proud of yourself!

🚑❤️ Great job! 👏👏

🇺🇸 REMEMBERING 9/11 — NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸

Today, the members of Hocking County EMS pause to remember and honor the men and women who answered the call on September 11, 2001.

We remember the 343 firefighters, 37 Port Authority police officers, 23 NYPD officers, 8 EMTs and paramedics, and countless other first responders who ran toward danger while others were running away.

We remember the innocent lives lost, the families forever changed, and the countless first responders who continue to carry the physical and emotional scars of that day.

As EMS providers, we understand the courage, sacrifice, and dedication it takes to answer a call when you don’t know what you’re walking into. The men and women of 9/11 showed the world the very meaning of service before self.

From all of us at Hocking County EMS:

We remember.
We honor.
We will never forget.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — Forever in our hearts. 🇺🇸
