ESCAMBIA COUNTY EMS BY THE #’S

A huge 📢 SHOUT OUT to our Escambia County EMS for all that they do to serve P’COLA!

“Twice a month, Escambia County EMS and Emergency Communications will release updated statistics on 9-1-1 calls answered, calls responded to, ambulance transports to hospitals, and other relevant information.” _{MyEscambia.com}

NOTE: The first edition focused on the Pensacola Beach Air Show. The reports aim to provide insight into the services provided and the challenges faced by the EMS department, including staffing and call volume. 

THE PEOPLE of PENSACOLA 🩵

A huge 📢 SHOUT OUT to the People of Pensacola Facebook Page for capturing the P’COLA Community by photo, by story, and one small glimpse at a time. A place to learn a little about our locals and connect. This is a must follow!

“I started this blog 12 years ago featuring street portraits and interviews that consistently focused on human dignity, empathy, and storytelling as a tool for connection. After turning the blog over to Dana Hairston Hof, I am back as a contributor focusing on the same content. I look forward to bringing you more photos and interviews showcasing the diversity, struggles, and humanity of The People of Pensacola.”
