Our volunteers have a long range commitment to community service.  Volunteer membership is an unpaid position that provides EMT and paramedic-level patient care or serves in a necessary support role to keep the department running smoothly.

​

Most volunteers hold careers in other areas and use this as a way to provide a critical service to their neighbors doing something they enjoy.

​

Volunteer EMS clinicians provide the same level of care as employees and serve as essential crew members on the ambulance.  

​
