The FIDO Bag M Program supplies firefighters with lifesaving tools to administer medical attention to your family's pet at the point of rescue. "In cases such as fire or automobile accidents etc. fire fighters need special tools on their trucks to save your best four legged friends life just as they do you" states Marie Peck - founder of The Fetch Foundation. "Pets are considered family and now they will have the tools to save their lives in an emergency. "There is no doubt in my mind these firefighters will utilize this equipment and training. The community both human AND animal will thank them for it with an outpouring of support and gratitude" comments Peck.

We are super excited to show off our latest wrap supporting an amazing cause that several of our staff hold dear to their hearts. This ambulance wouldn’t be possible without the support of WVU Medicine Camden Clark’s Foundation. They have gone above and beyond for our ambulance service and we cannot thank them enough. We would also like to thank Emily Kent for all the wrapping of our ambulance service. She’s a very talented young lady.

We’re proud to announce a major advancement in emergency care for Wood County and surrounding communities: Camden Clark Ambulance Service is now equipped to administer blood in the field during both trauma and non-trauma emergencies. This game-changing service can significantly improve a patient’s chance of survival before they even reach the hospital.

This wouldn’t be possible without the incredible generosity of our partners:
👏 The WVU Medicine Camden Clark Foundation
👏 The Spartan Foundation
👏 The Antero Foundation

Thanks to their support, we were able to purchase a specialized emergency response vehicle designed to safely store and transport blood from the hospital directly to the scene.
A heartfelt thank you as well to our hospital leadership and trauma surgeon Dr. Roberts for championing this initiative every step of the way.
This is a big win for our community—and another way we’re proud to answer the call when every second counts. 💙
