ENTERPRISE, Ala. (WDNews) – Mayor William E. Cooper has officially proclaimed the week of May 18–24, 2025, as Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week in Enterprise, recognizing the vital work of the Enterprise Fire Department and Enterprise Rescue.
Emergency Medical Services Week shines a light on the professionals who provide around-the-clock, lifesaving care to the community. These highly trained individuals are often the first to arrive on scene, offering urgent care under pressure to save lives and provide comfort during emergencies.
“Our emergency medical personnel are true hometown heroes,” said Mayor Cooper. “Their courage, skill, and unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of our residents deserve our deepest gratitude and respect.”
The EMS system includes paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, firefighters, rescue workers, nurses, physicians, and many volunteers and educators who support emergency care before hospital arrival. Together, they help fill gaps in healthcare with emergency response, preventative care, follow-up services, and access to tools like telemedicine.
The Mayor’s proclamation also notes the thousands of hours EMS providers spend on specialized training and continued education to prepare for any situation.
Mayor Cooper is encouraging the Enterprise community to participate in EMS Week activities and show appreciation for the critical services these professionals provide every day.
