"There's a lot of distractions when you drive an ambulance. They do serious work - but how could they not stop?"

Nearly 90 percent of suicide attempts among high school students are attributable to ACEs, as are 80 percent of adult suicides, translating to 109 suicides per day.

The first three months of 2026 were among the three safest first-three-month periods since records started being kept at the dawn of the Automobile Age, with only 42 fatalities from car crashes in New York City.

The suspect was locked in a bathroom by passengers after setting off the pyrotechnics, police said in a statement, adding that the man was carrying two knives.

The crash occurred on the northbound 215 freeway near Eucalyptus Avenue around 7:30 p.m., resulting in one fatality and multiple injuries.

There is a piece of advice given to doctors in moments like this: Check your own pulse. Each person in the room has a role, and we perform it best with steady hands and measured voices.

Officers responding to the scene found a 20-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the head and an 18-year-old woman with gunshot wounds to the head and chest.

To our fellow officers and first responders: you are never alone, and reaching out for help is a sign of strength.

If you are choking and are alone, try to get yourself into a high-traffic area, such as a hallway in a building or outside your house. If you pass out, you're way more likely to be found as opposed to being in a room in a building or your house. Call 911 even though you can't speak. Someone will be sent to your location by dispatch.

Across the country, emergency call centers are short-staffed, underfunded, and losing dispatchers faster than they can replace them. A 2023 survey found that one in four 911 positions nationwide is vacant, and 36% of centers reported having fewer positions filled in 2022 than in 2019. Martinez explains to Business Insider how dispatchers decide who gets help first for police, ambulance, and fire services, why they sometimes have to drop one call to save another, and the "caller hacks" that can literally save your life.
