Thank you for all that you do! ❤️

For those enjoying the long weekend, we wish you a safe, happy, and relaxing holiday. And as always, if you need us, we’re just a phone call away. 🚑☎️

Did you see it?! 🚑🌕

Just another night in EMS… with a little extra red lighting! 🚨🌙

M6 had the chance to step outside between calls, explore, chat with neighbors, and take in the incredible sight of the partial lunar eclipse on August 27th.

This type of lunar eclipse is often called a “blood moon” which feels pretty fitting for our line of work. 😉🚑

When a person has a medical emergency, they are often transported via ambulance. But when they're in a remote community with minimal medical facilities, where do they go? They get priority loading on a ferry and we alter our schedules to get them where they need to go as fast as possible - sometimes leaving early, late, or returning to the dock when necessary.

Our crews work closely with emergency services to coordinate the transportation of ambulances and medical personnel, often at a moment’s notice. We are a lifeline for those who live in areas without a major hospital or medical center. We have a schedule that we do our best to adhere to – but medical emergencies don’t happen on a fixed schedule and we’re proud to provide transport to those in their greatest moments of need.
