🚑 Our thoughts and prayers are with our brothers and sisters at the Town of Hamburg EMS tonight following the crash involving one of their ambulances.

From all of us at the North Collins Emergency Squad, we are keeping the Town of Hamburg EMS team in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We also want to extend our sincere thanks to all the first responders from the multiple agencies who responded to the scene and worked together to provide assistance.

In the emergency services community, we are more than agencies—we are family. We stand together in the difficult moments and support one another when it matters most.

❤️ To our brothers and sisters, we are thinking of you and wishing everyone involved a safe recovery. Stay safe out there. We are all in this together.

🎀 OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 🎀

This October, the North Collins Emergency Squad proudly supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month and stands with everyone whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. 💗

To the survivors, those currently fighting, the families and friends who stand beside them, and the loved ones we have lost — we see you, we support you, and we remember you. 💕

We also want to remind the women in our community to make your health a priority and stay up to date with your mammograms and recommended screenings. Early detection can make a difference.

Take the time to schedule that appointment. Encourage your mother, sister, daughter, friend, or coworker to do the same.

🎀 Know your risk. Get screened. Take care of yourself.

From all of us at the North Collins Emergency Squad, we stand together with our community this October in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. 💗

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — From One First Responder Family to Another, We Remember. 🇺🇸

Twenty-five years later, the memories of September 11th remain forever etched in our hearts.

Today, the North Collins Emergency Squad stands alongside first responders everywhere as we honor the 2,977 innocent lives lost and the countless families whose lives were changed forever.

But as first responders, we hold a special place in our hearts for the men and women who answered the call that morning.

Firefighters.
Police officers.
Paramedics.
EMTs.
Dispatchers.
And countless other first responders who ran toward unimaginable danger while knowing they might never make it home.

They didn’t hesitate. They simply did what they were called to do — serve, protect, help, and save.

From one emergency response family to those who made the ultimate sacrifice:

We see you. We honor you. We remember you. And we will never forget you.

To the first responders who continue to carry the memories, the loss, and the weight of that day — we stand with you.

May we never forget the courage displayed on September 11th, the lives that were lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the families who continue to carry their absence.

From our squad to yours: thank you for your service, your courage, and your sacrifice.

🚑🚒🚓 One brotherhood. One sisterhood. One calling. One promise — NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸

🕊️ September 11, 2001 — We Remember. We Honor. We Never Forget.
