Their actions made a direct impact on the lives of patients and families across Putnam County.

Thank you to every provider, agency, and partner who continues to answer the call each and every day. Your compassion, skill, and dedication do not go unnoticed, and we are proud to recognize your achievements.

The American flag at the Putnam Valley Volunteer Ambulance Corps flies at half-staff in memory of two children from our community whose lives were tragically lost in a recent fire. We join their family, friends and neighbors in mourning this heartbreaking loss and extend our deepest condolences to all who have been affected by this tragedy including the many first responders on scene. May we keep everyone in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Wishing a Happy Mother's Day to all moms, particularly those in Putnam County's EMS system who work tirelessly as EMTs and paramedics, and fun fact, research shows that EMS providers who are mothers often bring an extra level of empathy and care to their patients.

On 5.9.26 at 16:49 PVVAC and PVVFD was dispatched for a single car auto accident on the Taconic State Parkway. The single occupant was able to self extricate. Let these photos be a reminder, wet roads are slick roads, and seatbelts save lives.
