May 17–23 is National EMS Week, a time to recognize the men and women who deliver emergency medical services (EMS) to communities across the nation every day. CAL FIRE honors all EMS professionals and our own firefighter paramedics who respond with skill, compassion, and courage — often in the most critical moments of people’s lives. Their work spans every environment California has to offer, and their commitment never wavers. Join us this week in thanking the people who are always ready when it matters most. 💛 #EMSWeek #NationalEMSWeek #ImprovingOutcomesTogether #FirstResponders
