From Karla Pankow, Director of EMS:
For those of us in emergency services, we know that we may find ourselves in harm’s way simply by responding to a call for help.
We are a family.
And when we lose someone in that family, in such a tragic and senseless manner, we’re impacted.
Our heart goes out to the loved ones of Burnsville Firefighter/Paramedic Adam Finseth and Burnsville Police Officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge who lost their life last week while responding to a domestic disturbance call.
In their honor, North Shore Health EMS will send an ambulance and crew, along with donations from the staff of North Shore Health, down to the memorial event on Wednesday, February 28th.
Love and light to Burnsville Fire Department and Burnsville Police Department during this challenging time.
