❄️ Cold Temperatures & Snowstorm Ahead — Be Prepared! ❄️

A stretch of extreme cold temperatures and winter weather is headed our way. Snow, ice, and dangerous wind chills can make travel difficult and increase the risk of frostbite and hypothermia.

🧊 Remember: Frostbite can occur in as little as minutes when temperatures drop, especially with wind.

✅ How to Prepare:
* Dress in layers — hat, gloves, scarf, and waterproof boots
* Limit time outdoors and take frequent warm-up breaks
* Prepare an emergency kit (flashlight, food, water, blankets, medications)
* Winterize your vehicle — check tires, battery, fuel, and windshield fluid

Stay informed by monitoring weather alerts and road conditions

Your safety matters. Taking a few steps now can make a big difference during severe winter weather.

Did you know? In March 2025, the residents voted to raise the cap on the ambulance billing revenue account from a previous $250,000? Why?? Because there is more than $250,000 in the account.

We employ our town residents to ask the BOS why those funds cannot be used to financially change the current model of the ambulance. $1/hr to be on call nights and weekends doesn’t bring in additional staff from out of town. It doesn’t fairly compensate the few of us in town that are consistently scheduled to cover nights and weekends on top of our FT jobs and family lives. Cover more calls = increased revenue back into the account!

With Medicare set to pay services 325% reimbursements for ambulance transports starting in January 2026, NOW is the time to take action! The ambulance service can capitalize on the increase in reimbursement money to increase pay and staffing and also create funds to help sustain the changes!!

This was NOT the information that was conveyed to our staff last week. Turns out the BOS have been in talks since AUGUST. For the sake of “transparency”, this is all a surprise. They approached CCEMS without any efforts to attempt a new model or an increase in pay to a liveable wage or competitive to area EMS agencies. There’s absolutely a logical and fiscally responsible way to keep this town run service but we weren’t even given that opportunity!!

Wi******er officials are considering doing away with the town's ambulance service.
