Today's Bike Safety Rodeo was a huge success!

We saw plenty of smiles, laughter, excitement, and only a couple of minor falls — nothing hurt except a little pride-(right Sheriff?)😎

Watching kids build confidence, learn bike safety, and have fun made it a great day for everyone involved.

This Memorial Day weekend - take time to pause, remember, and honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Their courage and sacrifice gave us the freedoms we enjoy every single day - freedoms that should never be taken for granted.

Please celebrate safely this Memorial Day weekend. 🇺🇸

Happy EMS Week!

To every EMT, paramedic, dispatcher, firefighter-medic, flight crew member, ER tech, and the countless support staff who run toward the chaos when the rest of us run away—thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.

This week isn't just another checkbox on the calendar. It's a chance to pause and truly see you. The ones who crawl into mangled cars at 2 a.m. on rain-slick highways. The ones who hold a terrified child's hand while starting an IV. The ones who deliver the worst news a family will ever hear with gentleness and dignity. The ones who carry the weight of every call long after the shift ends.

You see people on their absolute worst days—broken, bleeding, panicked, grieving—and you meet them with steady hands, calm voices, and compassion that never seems to run out, even when your own tank is on empty. You miss birthdays, holidays, school plays, and anniversaries because someone else's emergency doesn't wait. You come home smelling like diesel, blood, and sweat, too wired to sleep, knowing tomorrow you'll do it all over again.

You've carried strangers who became some mother's son, someone's grandfather, a little girl's hero. You've brought people back from the brink when science said they shouldn't be here. You've held the line between life and death so many times that the rest of us almost take it for granted—until it's our loved one on the stretcher, and suddenly we understand what you really are: real-life guardian angels in turnout gear and tactical boots.

The job asks everything of you. It takes pieces of your heart, your sleep, your peace of mind. And still, you show up. Day after day. Night after night. In blizzards, heat waves, pandemics, and everything in between.

So during this EMS Week, we want you to feel seen. We want you to know that your exhaustion matters. Your sacrifices matter. The quiet moments when you cried in the ambulance bay after a pediatric arrest, or laughed with your crew at 4 a.m. just to stay sane—those moments matter. You matter.

To the rookies just getting started and the veterans with decades of scars and stories: thank you for answering the call when the world needed you most. Thank you for every life touched, every family comforted, every second chance you helped create. We couldn't do what you do. Most people can't. That's why you're extraordinary. Today and every day, we honor you, we appreciate you, and we pray for your safety. Keep fighting the good fight. We've got your back.

Happy EMS Week—with all the gratitude in the world.
