"If in the time of duty I fall....

Help my family to hold their heads tall."
A quote from a well-known EMT prayer rings true for the EMS workers in my area today.
Due to the nature of my job, and my previous posts, I'm unable to disclose much about the events that transpired this weekend. What I can say is this:

A well-loved, dedicated and bright young EMT was killed this past weekend during a search and rescue operation when he lost control of the ATV he was on, and was then struck by the ambulance that was following him to the call.

C was 24 years old, and had been working in the field for over 2 years as a volunteer for Search and Rescue as well as an EMT for his local 911 company.

We are all incredibly saddened by this news, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family, as well as his fellow crewmembers who are devastated by their loss.

Rest in peace, brother. You will not be forgotten.
