Congratulations to @MilFireDept Lt. Zietlow on receiving @MKE_OEM’s Distinguished Fire Department Liaison Award during #EMSWeek2026
Strong EMS systems depend on strong communication and these leaders help make that happen every day.
From sharing critical operational updates to ensuring EMS clinicians stay current on training, education, guidelines, and evolving patient care priorities, their leadership strengthens our entire system.
Grateful for their partnership and for the EMS clinicians across Milwaukee County they help support every day.

“That was trust.”
For Hero Week, @MilFireDept HEO Jermaine “JP” Perry shared what went through his mind during last year’s Mother’s Day fire rescue — and the trust he had in his team.
Chief @alipski1 explains why firefighters like JP stand out beyond just training.
