Butler County EMS Annoucement

Last Updated 5/21/2025


To the community members served by Butler County EMS;

 As you may be aware, our agency is mourning the loss of Paramedic Justin Lauppe, who died in the line of duty on May 16, 2025. Our EMS family is broken, and we mourn along with the Lauppe family.

To allow our members to be fully present as we honor Justin, we want you to know that EMS partners from surrounding areas will be covering our calls during the time of his services Thursday May 22nd from 8:00 am till 4:00 pm.

 We share this information with you to make you aware that you may see other EMS/ambulance agencies in our community. Their willingness to step up and provide exceptional care to our community, allowing us to properly honor Justin, means the world to us.

 Please keep the Lauppe family and the Butler County EMS family in your prayers during this difficult time.
