Basin marks National EMS Week
May 28—MOSES LAKE — May 18-24 was National EMS Week, a time to honor emergency medical personnel, according to an announcement from the Moses Lake Fire Department. "The Moses Lake Fire Department operates two and sometimes three Advanced Life Support Medic Units on a daily basis with one dual-trained firefighter paramedic and one firefighter EMT on each unit," the MLFD wrote in the announcement. "Fire engine company crews are also cross-trained in EMS and fire suppression." National EMS Week was established in 1974 by President Gerald Ford to recognize the importance of emergency medical assistance. This year's theme is "We Care, For Everyone," according to the announcement, to emphasize the dedication and compassion of EMS professionals. "The (Moses Lake) Fire Department runs around 5,400 calls for service annually (and) 85% of those calls are EMS-related," the MLFD statement said. "While the non-EMS related fire calls are less in frequency, they tend to be high acuity, staff-intensive in nature. The benefit of using dual-trained fire medics and EMTs represents a balance of providing multiple call EMS services on a daily basis with a high staffing requirement for structure fire and special rescue responses when they occur." Cpt. Tim Babak with Grant County Fire District 7 in Soap Lake agreed that EMS is vital to the communities fire departments serve. "EMS is a huge part of what we do, and they're crucial in the community," Babak said. "The majority of our calls are EMS calls, and I think that'd be the same for pretty much any fire department anywhere."

Puppy revived after overdose in St. Louis; owner charged
ST. LOUIS – Hospital workers revived a puppy with Narcan on Monday after an apparent overdose in St. Louis. The puppy's owner now faces criminal charges. The St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office has charged Ashley Harris, 35, of Springfield, Missouri, with two misdemeanors – animal abuse and resisting/interfering with arrest – amid the investigation. Investigators say the puppy was believed to be 8-10 weeks old and showed various signs of an opioid overdose, including blue gums and dilated pupils. Sheriff pleads the Fifth repeatedly over questions about mysterious death According to court documents obtained by FOX 2, officers were on assignment at St. Louis' BJC Hospital on Monday when they observed hospital and EMS personnel treating an unresponsive puppy outside an emergency room. Hospital staff contacted police to report that a puppy had overdosed on a suspected narcotic. Staff also noted that the puppy's owner, identified as Harris in court documents, was unwilling to give the puppy to Stray Rescue. Investigators say Harris was at the emergency room to be seen for an undisclosed matter and was accompanied by her puppy, who was initially described as 'alert and playful.' Some time later, Harris stepped outside and hospital personnel observed the puppy to be 'limp and nonresponsive,' according to court documents. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now The puppy was given oxygen for 20 minutes with no improvement before a medic administered 4 mg of Narcan through the puppy's nostril. The Narcan proved effective in improving the puppy's condition and the puppy regained responsiveness. Some time later, officers arrested Harris, though she initially attempted to pull away and repeatedly threatened to spit on them. Missouri online court records did not list any scheduled court dates or bond information for Harris as of Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Father charged after claiming death of child in Lewis County was ‘all his fault'
JANE LEW, (WBOY) — A father has been charged in Lewis County after he allegedly admitted to throwing a young child 'out of frustration,' causing the child's death. On May 25, troopers with the Weston detachment of the West Virginia State Police went to assist EMS workers at a residence in Jane Lew where first responders were performing CPR on a 'young juvenile,' according to a criminal complaint. Troopers assisted in life-saving measures before the child was taken to Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later. After the child's death, the medical examiner noted that there was 'a bruise above the juvenile's left eye on his forehead,' but 'did not immediately notice any other physical defects or anything suspicious,' troopers said. Hospital staff also said that while intubating the juvenile, they found 'a chocolate-like substance in the juvenile's airway.' Troopers returned to the McWhorter Road residence in Jane Lew to speak with two of the juvenile's guardians, who said 'they did not suspect any neglect from either parent,' according to the complaint. Man charged after allegedly holding newborn by foot while assaulting woman in Monongalia County One guardian said the child 'was completely fine' when they had woken that morning and that the child 'had been suffering from a cold off and on for quite some time' but was 'normal all morning,' troopers said. Another said the child 'had just recently went to the doctor,' but the child 'was crawling around in the kitchen and had slipped and bumped his head on the floor' that morning which 'did leave a little red mark on his head,' according to the complaint. The guardians also told troopers that one of the juvenile's parents 'smoked Delta 8' and 'would buy it at vape stores but she was not allowed to have it around the kids,' and they 'would only let her smoke it outside,' troopers said. After the child's death, troopers spoke with the parents; the mother said she had given the child to his father, Zachary Williams, 27, of Jane Lew, because the child 'would not go down for a nap and was crying and fighting the nap more than usual,' according to the complaint. The mother stated Williams went into the child's bedroom and she went into another room, but after 'a short period of time,' Williams began 'yelling for her,' according to the complaint. When she went into the child's room, she 'observed the juvenile to be limp' and called 911; while on the phone, the child stopped breathing, the mother said. During that initial interview, Williams told troopers that when he went into the bedroom, he 'picked the juvenile up and began bouncing him in an attempt to soothe him,' and 'while bouncing him, the juvenile went rigid and then limp and became unresponsive,' at which point he yelled for assistance, troopers said. However, during another Mirandized interview later that day, Williams 'did confess to throwing the juvenile out of frustration' which caused 'the juvenile to strike his head on the bedframe and the floor,' according to the complaint. Troopers said that during that same interview, Williams 'stated that it was all his fault.' West Virginia traffic stop leads to discovery of fentanyl pressed to look like candy The juvenile's body was transported to the state medical examiner's office in Charleston, and on May 27, troopers learned the juvenile 'did sustain a severe skull fracture to the rear of the head' and the doctor who perform the autopsy noted that 'this type of skull fracture is caused by trauma,' troopers said. Williams has been charged with murder and child abuse resulting in death. He is being held in Central Regional Jail without bond. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
