According to the proclamation, Mayor Cooper thanked EMS personnel for the care, professionalism and compassion they provide to Enterprise residents every day.
“It is truly an honor to be here with the men and women of Enterprise Fire Department and Enterprise Rescue,” Mayor Cooper said. “Every day, and every night, you answer the call when someone in our city needs help. No matter the hour or the situation, our citizens know that when they call 911, someone will come. That kind of service brings comfort and reassurance to families across Enterprise.”
The proclamation recognized EMS workers for providing lifesaving care 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while also highlighting the teamwork between EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, firefighters, law enforcement officers, nurses, physicians and other healthcare professionals.

“Many people see the lights and sirens, but they do not always see the long hours, the training, the sacrifices, and the emotional weight that can come with this job,” Mayor Cooper said. “I am proud of the professionalism, compassion, and dedication shown by the members of Enterprise Fire and Enterprise Rescue. We are proud to have these fine men and women serving our citizens and our community.”
