We want to remind everyone that Lee County is under a burn ban. With the dry conditions it does not take much for a brush fire to get out of control. Call 911 to report any fires so we can get to them early.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to our brothers and sisters of Lee County EMS while they are mourning the loss of one of their own.

Lee County Emergency Medical Services regrets to share that EMT Jessica Sanchez passed away this afternoon following an off-duty accident last weekend.

EMT Sanchez joined the department in 2023. During her time with us, she became known for her bright smile, positivity, and remarkable ability to lift up everyone around her. In the past few days, countless stories have been shared by her colleagues, all echoing the same truth: she made every day lighter, every shift better, and every life she touched fuller.

We stand with her family in mourning her loss and in sharing the joy she brought to so many who knew her.
