June is a great time to brush up on water safety as pools, lakes, and boating season start picking up ☀️

Drowning can happen quickly and quietly, even with other people nearby. Staying alert around the water, wearing life jackets, avoiding distractions, and knowing your limits can help prevent emergencies before they happen.

This month’s Pen Web EMS Quick Tip is all about helping everyone stay safe while enjoying the summer.

Every day in EMS, we meet veterans with incredible stories, sacrifices, and strength. Some are our patients. Some are our coworkers. Some are our friends and family.

This Memorial Day, we remember those who never made it home and honor the lives they gave in service to our country. 🇺🇸 No amount of thanks could ever add up to their sacrifice.

From all of us at Penfield Webster EMS, we wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. ❤️

Somehow five crews managed to get a few minutes free at the same time… so obviously ice cream was in order!🍦🚑

Big thank you to Bruster's Real Ice Cream for treating our crews during EMS Week! Emergency coverage remained available the entire time, and crews were able to get back on the road with a solid sugar rush to get them through their shift! 🍭

24/7. Rain or shine. Holidays, nights, weekends, and everything in between.

We thank our crews, as well as EMS providers near and far, for their dedication to the people and communities they serve.

It’s often said that it takes a special kind of person to work as a first responder, and Pen Web EMS might be a little biased, but we believe we have some of the most hardworking and compassionate EMTs and paramedics out there.

Made up of full-time, part-time, and volunteer staff, our crews continue to show up for this community every single day.

Happy EMS Week 🚑

Before turning, changing lanes, or pulling into traffic, take an extra second to check mirrors and blind spots. That quick double check could save a life.
