WHAT A RESPONSE! We have been flooded with registrations for the EMT class. We are forming a waitlist. If you are interested, please do get on the waitlist. It doesn't mean that you won't get into this class. However, for those who don't get into this class, we are already scheduling another for late February, early March with the same format. We will contact each student and advise them of their status by Tuesday. Those who do not make it into this class, will get priority placement in the spring class. Thank you so much for your motivation and patience to become EMTs. A quick note of clarification, passing this class is your ticket to attempt the NREMT EMT exam of which you have 6 attemtps. Passing that exam is the threshold for state licensure, not just passing this class. I'm looking forward to working with each of you. -Rob

Today, September 7, Pageland Rescue Squad, Pageland Fire Department, and Lifeguard EMS were dispatched to E. Maynard Street for a reported golf cart accident with entrapment.

Pageland Engine 2 arrived on scene and found a golf cart that had accidentally flipped into a 6’ foot ravine, with an elderly male trapped underneath. Crews immediately made their way into the ravine to begin patient care.

Upon arrival, Pageland Rescue 1 deployed battery powered extrication spreaders along with the Rescue 1 winch and cribbing to safely lift the golf cart off the patient. The patient was then carefully packaged onto a spine board, secured in a Stokes basket, and carried from the ravine by multiple responders. Once removed, he was transferred to a waiting Lifeguard EMS ambulance for treatment and transport. The patient was transported in stable condition.

This incident is a great example of the teamwork, communication, and coordination required to achieve a successful outcome in a challenging rescue. We extend our sincere appreciation to all responding agencies for their professionalism and commitment to serving our community.

It is with heavy hearts that the Pageland Rescue Squad announces the passing of 1st Lieutenant Jeremy “GasMan” Johnson.

Jeremy fought a courageous battle with cancer over the past several months, never one to complain and always carrying himself with quiet strength and humility. He earned his EMT-Basic certification and rose through the ranks to 1st Lieutenant and Training Officer, where he played a vital role in shaping the standards, skills, and culture of our Squad.

Jeremy was a decorated officer whose impact reached far beyond the calls he answered. Every patient he encountered was treated with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. His influence on this organization and the members within it will be felt for years to come.

Outside of emergency services, Jeremy faithfully served as a pastor, tending to his flock with the same servant’s heart he showed in every other part of his life.

He will be deeply missed by all of us at the Squad and in the community he served so selflessly. We will honor his legacy by continuing the work he believed in and striving to live up to the standard he set.

Rest easy, Pageland Rescue 423. We’ve got it from here
