The first Ambulance Service operating in Murray- Calloway was Mercy Professional Ambulance. During this time the service only offered Basic Life Support. York realized that the service as

a private entity could not keep up with the demands of a growing community. So he sold the Certificate of Need to Murray- Calloway County Hospital. The new name of the service was Murray-Calloway County Hospital- Ambulance Service. The service began operating under the new name on January 1st, 1980. As times changed and the need for higher advanced care in the prehospital setting, the service began operating as an Advanced Life Support agency on a ‘part time ‘basis. They soon realized that this concept was not benefiting the citizens of Calloway County and the Director; Jerry Gorrel began teaching paramedic Programs at the Hospital to move the department into a full time ability of ALS 24/7. In 1988 the service instituted a 24 hour per day/7 days a week with ALS coverage. Today, Murray- Calloway County EMS is owned and operated by Murray-Calloway County Hospital. The service is responsible for all Emergency and Non-Emergency request inside Calloway County. In addition, the service is responsible for all interfacility transfers originating from Murray-Calloway County Hospital. Murray-Calloway County EMS is a not for profit charitable organization. We are licensed by the Kentucky Board of EMS to provide a Class I advanced life support and basic life support ground ambulance service to Murray-Calloway County Hospital. Murray-Calloway County EMS is governed by a Board of Directors that receives no compensation for their function on the Board.

If anyone has lost a kitten in the 5th st downtown square area it has turned itself in to EMS. He is very friendly, and would love to go home. Unfortunately he does not have state licensure as an EMT so we cannot keep him.

Keep these firework safety tips in mind:

🎇 Leave fireworks to responsible adults.
🧨 Never allow young children to handle fireworks, including sparklers. Sparklers can burn at temperatures over 1,000°F and can cause serious injuries.
💧 Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby in case of fire or malfunction.
🚫 Never relight a “dud” firework. Wait at least 20 minutes, then soak it in water before disposing of it.
👓 Wear eye protection when lighting fireworks.
🏡 Use fireworks only in open areas away from homes, vehicles, dry grass, and other flammable materials.
🍺 Never use fireworks while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
🐶 Keep pets indoors, as loud noises can cause fear and unexpected behavior.

If someone is burned:
🔥 Cool the burn with cool (not ice-cold) running water for at least 20 minutes.
🚑 For serious burns, burns to the face, hands, feet, or ge****ls, or if clothing catches fire, call 911 immediately.

From all of us at Murray-Calloway County EMS, we wish you and your family a safe, happy, and memorable Fourth of July! 🇺🇸🎉

Remember: The best fireworks show is one where everyone goes home safely.

EMS Week isn’t about lights and sirens.
It’s about the people behind them.

The ones who leave dinner tables cold.
The ones who miss birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and bedtime stories because someone else’s worst day became our responsibility.

It’s the medic who hasn’t slept in 22 hours but still kneels beside a scared patient and says, “I’ve got you.”
It’s the EMT carrying the weight of calls they never talk about.
It’s the crews laughing in the truck one minute and fighting to save a life the next.

People see the ambulance.
They don’t always see the exhaustion.
The missed meals.
The PTSD.
The silent ride home after a bad call.
The tears wiped away before walking into the next one.

EMS is not just a profession.
It’s sacrifice.
It’s compassion under pressure.
It’s carrying humanity on your shoulders when yours is running empty.

This week, we honor every EMT, AEMT, paramedic, dispatcher, supervisor, educator, first responder, and retired provider who gave pieces of themselves so others could have another chance.

To the ones still standing after everything this job takes from you:
Thank you.

And to the ones we’ve lost along the way — the ones who carried too much for too long — we remember you too.

Happy EMS Week to the people who answer the call, no matter the hour, no matter the cost.

Honoring our past. Inspiring our future.
