Each year, the third week of May is recognized as EMS Week — a time to honor the dedication, compassion, and professionalism of Emergency Medical Services providers across the country.
EMS is a vital part of what the Violet Fire and EMS Department does every single day. In 2025 alone, 8,201 of our 9,460 calls for service were EMS-related incidents, highlighting the critical role our personnel play in protecting the health and safety of our community.
At Violet Fire and EMS, every employee is required to hold a State of Ohio Paramedic certification in addition to their Fire Training, demonstrating the high level of training and commitment our team brings to every call.
Thank you to all of our Violet Fire and EMS personnel for the care, professionalism, and compassion you provide to our community. Happy EMS Week!
