It’s Summertime…but accidents and trauma never take a vacation.

Just the opposite. The summer months can be the busiest time for EMS providers. Children fall off their bikes and bones are broken. Sports injuries increase. High temperatures bring on heat stroke. There are boating accidents and agricultural injuries, in addition to the year ‘round calls to respond to heart attacks, stroke and babies on the way.
