Side-by-side inspections today at the ambulance factory. Ocean Park VRS' new 124 next to Kempsville's new 923.
Finally got to inspect the new 923 as it came off the assembly line in Orlando, after having to abort last week due to the nor'easter. #KVRS #Kempsville
Little known fact: In the VB Rescue system, every ambulance is owned by one of the volunteer rescue squads. I'm on my way to the factory to inspect a desperately needed new ambulance for Kempsville.
It's Kempsville Rescue shuffleboard social night!
We're celebrating the life of one of our former paramedics and presidents as much as we are missing her presence: obits.elkinsfuneralhome.com/obituary/kat...
We love Potbelly because they love us! Who's hungry??
Thanks Potbelly, we love you!
Proud of the new VB Rescue EMT Academy graduates (in orange) who are planning to come to Kempsville Volunteer Rescue Squad!

Some calls are tough, and you walk away wondering if you did enough.
But stay strong, trust yourself, and keep going.
The tough moments, the messy ambo, the weightโwe face it together. At KVRS, youโre never alone.
This isnโt just a squad. Itโs a family. ๐๐
๐ Allergic Reaction vs. Anaphylaxis โ Know the Difference!
Allergic reactions can range from mild itching to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
Mild reactions are often treated with Benadryl, but anaphylaxis requires immediate Epinephrine (EpiPen) and calling 911.
๐๐ Suit up, gear up, stay safe!
PPE helps us handle the unexpected and protects both our team and our patients. ๐

๐๐ Meet the MVP of the ambulance: the LifePak!
It measures vitals, runs EKGs, and keeps the hospital updated before we even get there. Talk about teamwork. ๐

Captain Priest and I are starting this week in Florida inspecting KVRS's next custom-built ambulance as it comes off the assembly line. It's looking good!
โจ Stay Seen. Stay Safe. โจ
With it getting darker earlier, remember to wear reflective gear!
Whether youโre jogging, biking, or working outdoors, reflective gear helps drivers spot you soonerโbecause being seen is being safe. ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ

Weโre driving safer, so should you. ๐
Did you know that using cruise control in the rain can actually make driving more dangerous?
