We want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to our incredible community for the continued support of our crew, the North Country First Responders! It is truly something special to serve a community that believes in us and encourages us daily!

Every donation, raffle ticket purchased, visit to our booth, and kind word spread helps us continue to support our first responders and strengthen the services we provide to our community! That way WE can give back to YOU!

We had such a great time at the Beltrami County Fair getting to visit with so many of you at our booth! We are so EXCITED to announce our Beltrami County Fair booth drawing winner, along with our cash prize raffle winners!

Congratulations to all of our winners, and THANK YOU to everyone who participated and supported NCFR. Your generosity makes a difference, and we are so grateful to have such an amazing community behind us.

Happy National EMS Week!

During National EMS Week, May 17th - 23rd, we extend our deepest gratitude to the dedicated firefighters, EMT’s, EMR’s, paramedics, law enforcement officers, all of our families who support us everyday.
To all of our colleagues who answer the call every day with courage, compassion, and professionalism; thank you!

Some days we are responding to emergencies, providing lifesaving care, protecting our communities, or standing beside people during their hardest moments, but each of these moments make us stronger, as people and providers.

Thank you for your unwavering service to our communities! 🚨

National Police Memorial Day is observed every May 15th to honor the brave men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our safety and security. Words cannot begin to describe the loss that is felt by their absence. We want to thank each and every law enforcement member and the families of those who have lost a loved one to this difficult job.

Today we especially remember our member Jesse Branch, who was killed in an on duty crash while working for the Red Lake Police Department. Recently, Jesse’s name was added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington D.C. and was honored at this year’s National Police Week events. While his time with us was short, his impact was great.

During National Police Week, May 10th- 16th, we recognize the brave men and women in law enforcement who serve and protect our community every day!

North Country First Responders proudly recognize the dedication, service, sacrifice, and courage of those who answer the calls when others are in need.

Thank you for keeping our community safe! 🇺🇸

Each year, during the week of May 6th-12th, we celebrate national nurses week! At NCFR, we are so grateful for the dedication and team work of the nurses who help our communities stay safe and healthy.

Nurses week was established to recognize the vital role nurses play in healthcare, and ends May 12th, which is the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who was widely recognized as the founder of modern-day nursing.

Thank you to our nurses here at NCFR, and to all the other nurses out there, for the sacrifices you make, the lives you touch, and the difference you make!
