This year is our golden anniversary as a department. The history of the Bureau of EMS is rich and countless lives have been saved because of the high quality care in our system. For all the men and women who have put on this uniform shirt and stepped onto one of our iconic trucks, we all share a piece of this history. Here’s to the start of the next 50 years of service! From high quality medical care, top notch technical rescue service and everything in between, we truly deliver the best care anywhere and I’m proud to be a part of it.

@joshkimbre @BuddyJackson_OH This is the way. That’s how I got my start. That scholarship is an incredible opportunity for new members looking to see what things are about. While it doesn’t cover everything, it does take a big dent out of the cost. Worth applying to be sure!

As I sit in the airport, I reflect back on another @NAEMSP Annual Meeting that has come and gone far too quickly. It’s always over before I know it but what’s always a sure thing too, is how great it is to catch up with friends, colleagues and individuals so dedicated to advancing EMS. So while this may be my last of only a few tweets this year about #NAEMSP2025 , it’s also the start of thinking about #NAEMSP2026 next year in Tampa and getting to experience all these wonderful things again. Safe travels to all my friends traveling back home today!

Dr. Owusu Ansah talking about an important topic, leveraging the community to perform bystander CPR and teaching CPR from young ages. Only 18% of people have a current CPR card. Only 2.4% do annual CPR training. Only 65% of people have ever done CPR training. Giving tools to increase survival! #NAEMSP2025

@MarkMaddenX Just remember, the 1-15 record against Top 5 AP teams has one common denominator, and that is Franklin the Fraud. Blame whoever you like but his record under the bright lights and on the big stage speaks for itself.

@PSURecruitTalk Drew isn’t the common denominator in the 1-15 record against AP top 5 teams, the FRAUD Franklin is. It’s always on Franklin. History speaks for itself. He can’t win under the bright lights or on the biggest stage.

@HandtevyMD See you there! If you’re traveling tomorrow, same to you as well!

Thankfully, I’ve got both Pre-Check and I can as a backup, hit the priority line for my flight and still get the benefits of pre-check, whichever line is shorter. Expected to open later this year. Not soon enough if you ask me. Checkpoints aren’t designed to handle current volumes. It is going to be great to fly out later this year or next in an actual modern airport.

@Medic128097 That’s the plan. I never risk it anymore

@joshkimbre I second Lion’s Share that @mo_cares recommended. Excellent location. Osteria Panevino is another great spot. I suggest a good night cap The Whiskey House.

@joshkimbre Yep, I just looked at it. Super easy! Already downloaded the app for the MTS and planned out the route. I wish my city had reliable public transportation. 😑

@joshkimbre Thank you! You’re the best! I know what I’ll be doing then!

@fyreman2006 @joshkimbre San Diego is great but I’ve defaulted to those modes of transport out of ease/familiarity. I’d much rather take public transit because it’s likely way cheaper and just as easy.

@joshkimbre See you late Wednesday morning! Safe travels my friend!

@NoobieMatt To be fair, that does look delicious. But it’s better you came out on the other side alright! Cheers to your health!

You’re not a very smart person to make this tweet literally hours after it has been widely reported that there are outstanding accomplices that have been identified. If as you claim, you believe it should have been delayed for a legitimate safety concern, do you really need the internet to identify this as a safety issue for you? Or are you just being intentionally dense and engagement farming but trying to be controversial after a tragic event. Given how large of an investigation this is and regardless of the fact the FBI has taken over as the lead agency, do you believe that NOLA has the police resources at present to provide typical daily service, keep the crime scene secured and provide the level of security required at an event that even on the best day requires an exceptional level of resources let alone the same day as a terrorist attack? Be better. Sometimes it’s better to just stay quiet.

@Medic128097 Thanks! Same to you!
