Photo of the Week
Each Friday, we select a photo submitted to our EMS1 editors to be featured as our “photo of the week.” Photos range from partner selfies, to ambulances, to copters, to therapy dogs, to community events and good deeds.
So the next time you come across something inspiring on duty, take out the camera and submit it to EMS1! Your photo will be featured in an EMS1 newsletter for all to see. Just remember to include your name, agency information and some background on the picture.
Please remember to protect patient privacy and to follow agency and safety protocols during rescue operations.
