In 1974, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week to celebrate EMS professionals and the important work they do in our nation’s communities. This year, EMS Week runs from May 17-23.

Each and every week, we recognize and honor our Department and District Paramedics, AEMTs, and EMTs for the hard work they do day in and day out. These dedicated providers respond to emergencies in our community 24/7/365 without hesitation and provide the highest quality medical care in the prehospital setting.

Jericho FD is proud to operate a large fleet of EMS vehicles, including 4 ambulances, 2 flycars, and a UTV.

Our area will be hit with a blizzard tomorrow into Monday. Visibility will be minimal with very hazardous road conditions. Stay home if you can.

Our members will be standing by in quarters throughout the duration of the storm to ensure a timely response to all emergencies.

As always, we ask that you clear hydrants of snow, ice, and any other obstructions. Also please yield to any responding emergency vehicles by pulling to the right and coming to a complete stop.
