A Busy Day for Austin County EMS!
Today was an exceptionally busy day for Austin County EMS. At several points throughout the day, we had more active emergency calls (all dispatched within a 30-minute period) than we had ambulances immediately available to respond.
We want to recognize and sincerely thank our dedicated crews who worked tirelessly throughout the day (even staffing an extra unit) to ensure our community continued to receive the highest level of emergency medical care.
We would also like to extend our appreciation to all of the Austin County fire departments, Austin County Sheriff’s Office Dispatchers, Waller County EMS, Washington County EMS, and East Bernard EMS for your mutual aid assistance.
When our community needed help, our regional public safety partners answered the call. Their willingness to assist helped minimize response times, maintain emergency coverage, and provide outstanding care to the citizens of Austin County.
This is what teamwork looks like. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, professionalism, and commitment demonstrated by everyone who helped keep our community safe today.
Thank you to all of our partners for standing together and supporting one another when it mattered most. 🚑❤️
