We’re excited to announce that our Kents Store station is officially staffed as of 08:00 this morning!

This station will be staffed daily from 08:00 until 20:00, and will transition to 24 hour staffing in the near future. This addition will improve our coverage and our ability to provide timely care to the community of Kents Store.

We think it’s especially fitting that this milestone happens to fall first day of EMS Week, a week dedicated to recognizing EMS providers around the country.

We are very fortunate to have Dr. Byrne as our operational medical director!

In his role as a U.S. Navy reservist, UVA Health’s Dr. Brendan Byrne was tasked with caring for the Artemis II astronauts, and preparing for a host of potential catastrophes as the four-person Artemis II crew ascended into space and returned to Earth. https://uvatoday.me/4uwLIsd

A warm and breezy day is expected across the region today. Mostly sunny and dry conditions will prevail, with afternoon high temperatures reaching the lower to mid 80s for inland areas. Immediate coastal locations will remain slightly cooler, with highs in the 70s.

Increased Fire Danger: Please be advised that there is an increased risk of fire danger today for central and eastern Virginia. The combination of dry conditions and breezy afternoon winds will make it easier for fires to start and spread. Please exercise caution and follow local burning regulations.

Looking Ahead: Moisture will begin to increase Wednesday into Thursday, bringing the potential for beneficial rainfall and a few scattered thunderstorms.

In EMS, it’s easy to get caught up in the fast pace of the job and overlook the fundamentals. Throughout the month of March, our providers participated in “Back to the Basics” training & annual CPR recertifications to reinforce core skills that are essential in delivering high-quality care.

This training wasn’t just for the newer providers, it also was an opportunity for seasoned personnel to refine their skills, share experience, and train alongside peers. Revisiting the basics ensures that even the simplest, most critical interventions are performed with confidence and precision under pressure.

Mobile homes are not safe from tornadoes. Seek shelter in a sturdy, well-constructed building. Make plans ahead of time for other places to stay in until after the risk of tornadoes has ended. You do not want to waste time driving to a shelter once a tornado warning is issued.

Around 16:00 on Wednesday, February 25, Fluvanna County Emergency Services Trauma 1-6, ALS-1, Lake Monticello Rescue Squad were dispatched for an unresponsive patient. When ALS-1 arrived on location, they found an unresponsive male with an unknown downtime. After a rapid assessment and initiation of care, Air Medical Services were requested to land at the Lake Monticello Dam. The patient was transported to the Landing Zone and care was transferred to the flight crew from Pegasus Air. The patient was then flown to UVA for definitive care.

We would like to thank the Fluvanna County Sheriff's Office, Lake Monticello Police Department, Palmyra Volunteer Fire Company 1, Lake Monticello Volunteer Rescue Squad and UVA Pegasus for their assistance. We would also like to thank the Fluvanna County Communications Center for their professionalism while simultaneously handling three high acuity incidents. Their dedication and commitment to excellence ensured clear communication and operational efficiency during these incidents.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of this individual.
