South County EMS

Today, your South County paramedics trained on advanced airway management. Surgical airways are a high acuity skill that occurs very infrequently, requiring continuous training. We also trained on our new video laryngoscopes. Much thanks to our medical control, Dr. Shapiro, for joining us and helping us hone our techniques.

Bystander CPR provides the highest likelihood of survival. We are proud of Kate and Lenora for quickly recognizing an emergency and immediately rendering CPR until our paramedics arrived. To learn more about hands only CPR, see the link in the comments.

Today was an exciting day for South County EMS as we officially took delivery of our newest ambulance, Unit 105 after almost 3 years since placing the order.
Unit 105 replaces Unit 102, which served our department and communities well for many years and accumulated more than 140,000 miles during its time in service.
This new ambulance is a very welcome addition to our fleet and will help ensure our crews have reliable, modern equipment to care for our communities when they need us most.
We are incredibly appreciative of the continued support from Deerfield, Sunderland, and Whately that makes investments like this possible and allows us to provide our staff with high-quality equipment while continuing to deliver the best care we can to our patients.
There is still some work to be done to get the truck fully equipped and ready for the road, but we expect Unit 105 to be placed into service in the coming weeks.

This afternoon we gathered at our station to recognize Tim Drumgool’s appointment as the new South County EMS Chief.

Tim grew up in Deerfield and is a Frontier graduate. Tim continued his education at Springfield College where he obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Emergency Medical Services Management. Prior to the inception of South County EMS, Tim worked for Deerfield EMS and was a significant contributor to the growth and development of our regional service. Tim is not solely an experienced paramedic, he also collaborates with partner organizations for emergency planning, community outreach and facilitates professional development.

We are excited to welcome Tim back to South County EMS as our next leader. Together, we look forward to continuing to provide professional services to our community under his leadership.
