"Medic 6 respond to a report of a child who fell through the ice on Stevens Pond." "Rescue 9 be advised that bystanders have pulled a cross-country skier from the river and have started CPR."
These are but a few of the EMS calls we may have to answer during these winter months.
The Ohio Department of Public Safety Division of EMS urges you and your medical director to review all cold weather protocols and prepare for these and other winter emergencies. From frostbite
to cold water drowning, your preparation and delivery of professional care during these critical moments can positively affect outcomes in many of these patients. Throughout this winter season, stay warm, stay safe, and thank you for your service and dedication
to Ohio’s EMS system.
