You don’t need medical training to help save a life at a crash scene. Giving responders room to work can make all the difference!
November 2–6 is Crash Responder Safety Week, and WEMSA is joining Wisconsin’s emergency response partners in reminding drivers to stay alert, put the phone down, and move over when safe (or slow down) for flashing lights on the roadside.
For EMS crews, a passing vehicle can be just feet from where they’re treating a patient. Your attention and a little extra space help protect everyone at the scene.

Help us share this reminder with your community! Someone’s family is counting on you.
