EMS FYI September 6, 2019
September 6, 2019
All information falls under the latest revision for the EMS Protocols: 11-15-2018
This week’s FYI content is limited due to Hurricane Dorian. We will resume normal EMS FYI operations next week!
Last week was full of hurricane preparation and anticipation, waiting for hurricane Dorian to pass. Earlier this week Chief Dominguez tweeted “So proud of our crews for the quality driven EMS service delivery they provide every day. Job well done first responders, volunteers & hospital personnel for your unwavering commitment to services”. We want to thank everyone that came together, and “hunkered down” during the first (and hopefully last) hurricane of the season. You all played an integral part in keeping our community healthy and safe!
