NRAD is the advanced life support prehospital EMS provider for 340 square miles in northwestern Clay

Northland Regional Ambulance District is a political subdivision, established in 1994 by the registered voters within the district’s boundaries. The district is governed by an elected board of directors, who serve in the six sub-districts within NRAD’s boundaries. An Executive Director, hired by the board, oversees the day-to-day operations of the district. The district encompasses more than 340 square miles in Platte and Clay counties, north of the Kansas City metropolitan area. The district includes the Camden Point, Dearborn, Smithville and Central Platte fire protection districts, as well as a portion of the Edgerton-Trimble Fire Protection District. We also provide Mutual-Aid responses to the communities surrounding our district. Our emergency medical technicians and paramedics provide Advanced Life Support emergency medical care to the ill and injured. The medical crew members are highly-trained in the methods and mechanics of providing the highest level of emergency medical care possible to each patient. Our medical personnel are licensed and registered through state and national EMS organizations, and maintain their credentials through constant training and education. NRAD’s EMTs and Paramedics are affiliated with the International Association of Firefighters, Local 42.

A dinosaur, a football player, and a space ranger walk up to an ambulance. No punchline, just candy. Thanks to the Dearborn Public Library for including us in costume story time and trunk-or-treat, and to every family who stopped by to say hi.

The line at Siegrist Elementary’s trunk-or-treat stretched across the whole parking lot, and our crew was happy to be part of it. Thanks to the families and staff who made it such a fun night.

Our crew had a great time at the YMCA’s trunk-or-treat in Platte City on Friday. We rolled the stretcher out of the ambulance and turned it into a candy table, which Spider-Man fully approved of. Thanks to the Y for having us and to all the families who came out.

Happy Halloween, Northland. Before trick-or-treating starts, here are a few reminders to keep the night fun and safe.

Drivers, slow way down in neighborhoods tonight and stay off your phone. Excited kids dart out between parked cars, and costumes make them hard to see in the dark. Dusk and early evening are the busiest and riskiest hours.

Parents, help your kids be seen. Add reflective tape or a glow stick to costumes, hand out flashlights, and keep the little ones on sidewalks and in crosswalks. A quick reminder to look both ways goes a long way.

Have a great night out there. We'll be on shift if you need us.

This year, Halloween comes with a bonus beyond the candy. You stay up late Saturday night, and daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m., giving you an extra hour of sleep.

Make that hour do double duty. When you change your clocks, test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and swap the batteries if they take them. It's a simple way to make sure the things that protect your family while you sleep are actually working.

And with the sun setting earlier now, give yourself a little extra room walking or driving after dark until everyone adjusts.

If someone near you suddenly collapsed, would you know where the nearest AED is? October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, which means it's the perfect time to learn.

An AED, the portable device that can shock a stopped heart back into rhythm, is built for regular people, not just medics. It talks you through every step out loud, and it won't let you shock someone who doesn't need it. Together, CPR and an AED used right away give someone their best shot at surviving.

You'll find them in many schools, gyms, churches, and public buildings. Next time you're somewhere new, take two seconds to notice where the AED is. That small habit could save a life.

Knowing CPR is the other half of the equation. We teach free Hands-Only CPR at our Platte City location, so you'll be ready to act until help arrives. Details at nrad-ems.org/cpr-training.

It is with heavy hearts that the Kansas City Fire Department announces the passing of Division Chief Tara Hill following a courageous battle with cancer.

Tara joined KCFD in 2010 following the merger with MAST, bringing with her years of experience and a commitment to public service. Throughout her career, she dedicated more than two decades to serving others as a first responder and public servant.

We extend our deepest condolences to Tara’s family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Division Chief Hill. Thank you for your service and dedication.

Today is National First Responders Day, a day to recognize the people who run toward emergencies when everyone else runs away.

We're proud to do this work, and even prouder of the company we keep. The police officers, firefighters, dispatchers, and fellow medics across the Northland show up at all hours, in all weather, for people on the worst day of their lives. That takes a special kind of person.

To every first responder in our community, and to the families who support them, thank you. We're honored to serve alongside you.

This spring, the Missouri Department of Public Safety and our state partners warned about the extreme danger posed by nitazenes – synthetic opioids considered five to 10 times more dangerous than fentanyl. Health authorities were concerned because these lab-made opioids were showing up in wastewater sampling from Missouri schools and in counterfeit pills, powders and vapes.
‼️⚠️Now, another dangerous synthetic opioid that’s also considered to be up to 10 times more deadly than fentanyl – cychlorphine – is concerning health officials across the country.
▶️Los Angeles County has just confirmed its first death linked to cychlorphine.
▶️In April, the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy reported 55 deaths had been linked to cychlorphine dating back to 2025.
Cychlorphine suppresses breathing, causing severe, life-threatening respiratory and cardiovascular depression.
It is currently undetectable by fentanyl testing strips and is being mixed into the illicit drug supply without people knowing.

▶️Naloxone works with cychlorphine, just as it does with nitazenes. But multiple doses may be required to reverse an overdose caused by opioids.
▶️Treat any illicit substance as a potential risk. Stay informed, stay prepared, avoid illicit substances and carry naloxone. It’s safe to use and saves lives.

Carbon monoxide is called the invisible killer for a reason. You can't see or smell it, so a working CO alarm is your best defense.

Install alarms on every level of your home and near where people sleep. And never run a generator, grill, or car in a garage or enclosed space, even with the door open. That's one of the fastest ways CO builds up.

If your alarm sounds or several people suddenly feel sick with a headache, dizziness, or nausea, get everyone to fresh air and call 911.
