NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH | WEEK 1

Preparedness starts with a plan.

Emergencies can happen at any time, and the best time to make a plan is before you need it.

This week, take a few minutes to:
✅ Talk with your family about what you would do in an emergency
✅ Know where you would go for severe weather
✅ Make sure you can receive emergency alerts
✅ Choose a family meeting place
✅ Make a plan for pets and anyone who may need extra assistance

A few minutes of planning now can make a big difference when an emergency happens.

Don’t wait for the warning to make your plan.

🚨 WHAT WE DO WEDNESDAY: EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 🚨

September is National Preparedness Month, so this week we’re highlighting the emergency management side of what we do.

When you hear “emergency management,” you may think about what happens during a major storm or disaster. But much of our work happens before an emergency ever occurs.

We prepare for the hazards our community could face. From severe weather and flooding to power outages and other emergencies. That means developing and updating plans, conducting training and exercises, and working closely with our community partners.

When disaster strikes, we coordinate with fire, EMS, law enforcement, public works, utilities, hospitals, schools, and state and federal partners to share information, coordinate resources, and help our community respond.

And when the immediate danger is over, our work continues. We help with damage assessments, connect residents with available resources, and use what we learn to prepare for the next emergency.

Emergency management is a team effort and you’re part of that team. Know your risks, have a plan, stay informed, and look out for your neighbors.

Much of what we do happens behind the scenes. But when you need us, we’ll be ready. ❤️💙

**Update 7:14 PM Pilot is not injured. Crews remain on scene***

A small aircraft has gone down in the 900 block of Hickory Ridge Road.

At this time, we do not have any reports of injury. Crews are currently on scene.

Please use caution in the area and avoid the scene if possible while emergency crews work.

Station 1 A-Shift crews spent time yesterday training on firefighter entanglement and self-rescue techniques.

During structure fires, firefighters often operate in limited or zero visibility where wires, cables, and other debris can create serious entanglement hazards. Becoming trapped can restrict movement, damage equipment, or prevent a firefighter from exiting a hazardous environment.

Crews worked through simulated entanglement hazards in full turnout gear and SCBA, practicing techniques to remain calm, identify the obstruction, protect their air supply, and safely free themselves.

Regular hands-on training helps ensure these skills become second nature when they are needed in an actual emergency.

We recently took delivery of a 2026 Saber Class pumper by Pierce Manufacturing. The cab and chassis were built at Pierce’s new Murfreesboro, TN facility, with this being the first chassis ever built in Tennessee, before final assembly in Bradenton, FL.

The NFPA-compliant pumper features a 1,500 GPM Darley pump, 1,000-gallon tank, 4-inch supply line, low hose bed, and Husky onboard foam system with a 30-gallon foam tank.

The new pump and larger hose will improve water supply capabilities and allow the truck to work alongside our Pierce aerial placed in service in 2024.

This is the second of five new Pierce pumpers being deployed throughout Wilson County this year! 🚒🔥

Update: 4:46 PM our units are clear and the gas company is on scene.

🚨 TRAFFIC ALERT – SPARTA PIKE 🚨

In the 6400 block of Sparta Pike, one lane will be shut down due to a gas leak after a gas line was struck.

WEMA units are on scene, and the gas company is en route to address the issue.

Please use caution in the area and expect delays while crews work to make the area safe. 🚒

🚑 Congratulations to Our Newest Paramedics!
Wilson County EMA is proud to congratulate Wyatt Shultz and Atticus Robinson on earning their Paramedic licenses!
Becoming a paramedic takes an incredible amount of work. In roughly one year, these providers completed approximately 1,200 hours of classroom education and more than 600 hours of clinical and field training. Over 1,800 hours of medical education packed into a single year.
And earning the license is only the beginning.
Wilson County EMA operates under aggressive, progressive medical protocols that allow our paramedics to bring advanced emergency care directly to the patient. Our medics perform rapid sequence intubation (RSI), surgical airways, finger thoracostomy, advanced cardiac electrical therapies, and administer a wide range of critical medications—care that in many places may not begin until the patient reaches an emergency department.
Because of that responsibility, every new WEMA paramedic completes an additional 3–5 shifts with a Paramedic Field Training Officer before functioning independently, ensuring they can safely and confidently deliver the level of care our community expects when someone calls 911.
We at Wilson County EMA are extremely appreciative of the time, sacrifice, and dedication these providers have shown in choosing to further their education and continue serving their community at the paramedic level. Their commitment strengthens our department and, most importantly, the level of care we are able to provide to the citizens and visitors of Wilson County.
Congratulations Wyatt, and Atticus! 🚑

🎡 That’s a wrap on the Wilson County Tennessee State Fair! 🎡

It was a HOT 10 days, but it was also some of the best 10 days of the year! ☀️❤️ We’re grateful for everyone who stopped by, supported us, and helped make it another great fair.

Until next year… stay cool, Wilson County! 😎

See you at the fair in 2027! 🎠

🐾❤️ Meet Mazie! Our Newest WEMA Friend! ❤️🐾

We would like to introduce you to somebody very special… Mazie! 🐶

Mazie is a certified First Responder Therapy Dog, and she is getting ready to start making rounds to our WEMA stations and joining us at trainings when her schedule allows.

Her mission is simple: bring smiles, comfort, and a little extra joy to the people who spend their days taking care of our community. 🚑🚒

Mazie’s handler, Kim, has also completed specialized training to help make sure Mazie is successful in her role.

Today, Mazie got to meet some of her very own first responders, and we are already looking forward to all the friendships, tail wags, and smiles ahead! 🐾

Keep an eye out… you never know when Mazie might show up! ❤️🐶

Welcome to the WEMA family, Mazie! We are so happy to have you! 🐾

Make sure to follow her on Instagram mazie_pup_therapist

Starting a new series: What we do Wednesdays. At WEMA, Fire and EMS are one. We don’t operate as separate fire and EMS divisions. Our personnel are cross-trained to provide both emergency medical care and firefighting.
That’s why you may see a fire engine responding to a medical emergency or an ambulance responding to a fire. Fire apparatus are an important part of our medical response plan, providing additional trained hands to help deliver the highest level of care to our patients. Paramedics and Advanced EMTs staff our fire apparatus too, bringing advanced medical care and additional manpower directly to the scene.
Likewise, our ambulances are part of our firefighting response. Our crews are cross-trained, our ambulances carry firefighting equipment, and we fight fire directly off our ambulances.
Our personnel provide:
🚑 Advanced Life Support EMS
🔥 Structural & Wildland Firefighting
🚗 Vehicle Extrication
🌊 Swift Water Rescue
🤿 Dive Rescue & Recovery
🧗 Rope Rescue
☣️ Hazardous Materials Response
Whether the call is a heart attack, house fire, vehicle crash, water rescue, or technical rescue, Fire, EMS, and Rescue are all one at WEMA.
One department. One team. One mission.
