We would like to thank the Superior Health Foundation for their recent grant support. With these funds we were able to upgrade one of our cots to work in both of our basic life support ambulances and purchase two rechargeable patient cot batteries. These resources will improve response capabilities and increase safety for both patients and first responders. We are grateful to have partners like Superior Health Foundation in our community!

❄️ Quick Community Check-in ❄️

Excellent repost of a common photo circulating reminding us of the little things we can do to keep our homes safe as we weather the storm. Snow blocking these vents could lead to appliances not working properly or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Clear the areas around these important vents and make sure your CO detectors are working. Help your neighbors if you can and we will get through this together.

KEEP METER CLEAR
• Never allow snow to cover your gas meter, its pressure regulator or block your appliance exhaust vents.
• Use caution when shoveling snow, plowing, or snow blowing to avoid piling snow against your gas meter, pressure regulator or appliance vents.
• Clear a path to the meter free from snow and ice for easy access. A blocked meter can hinder access to responders on the event of an emergency.

Do not try to remove ice or frozen snow from the natural gas meter pressure regulator or piping. If you find your meter or pressure regulator covered in ice or frozen snow, do not attempt to remove the ice or use de-icer.
