To our EMTs, Paramedics, Firefighters, Law Enforcement Officers, Dispatchers, and all First Responders — thank you for your courage, compassion, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to serving others. You miss family dinners, holidays, birthdays, and countless hours of sleep. You run toward emergencies when others are running away. You see people on their worst days and give them your very best. From all of us at South Scott County Ambulance District, thank you for answering the call, day or night.💚

Thank you DAEOC Headstart for inviting us to visit and show the kids our ambulance 💚

“How do I explain to my spouse that responding lights and sirens doesn’t stress me out… but Costco does?”

If you work in emergency services, you probably laughed at that.
But there’s actually something pretty damn human behind it.

Lights. Sirens. Chaos. Someone screaming. Heart pounding. You’re heading toward something everyone else is trying to get away from.

And somehow you’re calm.

Because there’s a job to do. Training kicks in. Your crew is beside you. Your brain knows exactly where it needs to be.
Then you’re off duty.

You walk into Costco and suddenly the crowds, noise, people stopping in the middle of the aisle, carts everywhere and ten different things happening around you can make you want to turn around and leave.

Sounds ridiculous until you’ve lived it.
Sometimes chaos with a purpose feels easier than chaos without one.
The uniform doesn’t make us normal.

It just teaches us a very different version of normal.

Still human behind the uniform.
