5/19/2026 Tuesday marked the second day of National EMS Week, and our Stratford EMS team stepped up in a big way.

SEMS responded to 35 medical emergencies in a single 24-hour period — surpassing our daily average by 11:00 a.m. and had exceeded “normal” call volume on some shifts by over 75%!

35 calls itself is a significant number, tIn addition to this unusually busy stretch, the team also committed significant Resources tooto two high-profile public safety incidents that consumed approximately two-thirds of our available EMS resources throughout the afternoon. 35 also represents one of the busiest days of 2026 so far.

Despite the challenges of our first significant heat event of 2026, our dedicated staff achieved 100% coverage yesterday.

We want to extend our deepest thanks to all our staff, the EMS volunteers who dropped what they were doing to come to work, the staff who volunteered to stay late, and our dedicated full-time , per diem volunteers, and supervisory teams who somehow always find a way to bring calm to chaos.

The daily dynamics of emergency medical services are uniquely demanding and complex in ways few professions can truly comprehend. Every shift brings unpredictable calls that demand split-second critical thinking, advanced clinical skills, and the ability to adapt instantly to chaotic, high-stakes environments. From managing life-threatening cardiac arrests and trauma in the back of a moving ambulance to navigating difficult extrications, pediatric emergencies, and behavioral health crises — all while maintaining composure under intense pressure and extreme heat. The special complexities of pre-hospital care, where decisions are made without the full resources of a hospital and outcomes can change in seconds, set EMS apart as one of the most challenging and vital fields in public safety.
