In partnership with Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin and Froedtert South, we are excited to announce that the Village of Bristol Fire Department will begin carrying Packaged Red Blood Cells (PRBCs) for prehospital administration to qualifying patients in April 2026! This development is nearly a year in the making with our sincere appreciation to the City of Kenosha Fire Department (a pioneer in prehospital blood administration) for their support and guidance. M5241 and M5242 will begin carrying lifesaving PRBCs for transfusion at the discretion of EMS clinicians - not just in Bristol, but regionally as Paramedic intercepts for administration will be supporting our automatic and mutual aid partners.
To kick off this exciting development, we will be hosting a blood drive on April 1st at Station 52 from 8:30 AM - 12:00PM. Walk-ins are welcomed but appointments are highly encouraged!
Prospective donors are asked to schedule an appointment by visiting https://donateblood.versiti.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/11636514 or by calling 877-232-4376.
Help us save lives (literally) by donating and thank you in advance for your support!
