🚑🚒🚓 NATIONAL FIRST RESPONDERS DAY — OCTOBER 28 ❤️💙

Today, Bennett County Ambulance would like to recognize and thank ALL of the incredible first responders we have the privilege of working alongside.

To our firefighters, law enforcement officers, dispatchers, emergency management personnel, fellow EMS providers, search and rescue teams, and every individual who steps up when an emergency strikes — THANK YOU!

We may wear different uniforms, drive different vehicles, and have different responsibilities, but when that call comes in, we all share one mission: to be there when someone needs us most.

We’ve stood together on accident scenes, worked through difficult emergencies, shared moments of relief, and experienced the heartbreak that sometimes comes with this calling.

Behind every badge, radio, helmet, and uniform is a person who makes sacrifices that often go unseen.

We see you. We appreciate you. And we are grateful to have you by our side.

From your family at Bennett County Ambulance, thank you for answering the call. ❤️💙

Stay safe out there, and always remember — we’ve got each other’s six.

Heading out for hunting season? Take a moment to review the basic rules of fi***rm safety.

Treat every fi***rm as if it is loaded. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Always know your target and what is beyond it.

Fi***rm safety matters every time you handle a fi***rm, whether you are hunting, practicing at the range, transporting it, or storing it at home.
In 2023, 70% of nonfatal fi***rm injuries in South Dakota were unintentional, according to South Dakota Department of Health data.
