Today marks the first official day of Boyd EMS stationing an ambulance and crew full time in Roodhouse!

Having an ambulance and EMS team stationed in both Carrollton and Roodhouse allows us to better serve our communities during emergencies when every second counts.

Thank you Roodhouse Fire Protection District for collaborating to make this possible!

ANNOUNCEMENT!
Roodhouse Fire District is excited to announce that a Greene County ALS Ambulance will soon be staffed in the northern portion of the county, and will be responding out of the firehouse. The change of quarters should decrease response times to the northern part of the county during medical and traumatic emergencies. The southern portion of the county should remain unchanged during 911 events as an ambulance will be remaining staffed in Carrollton.

Did you know nearly 70% of fire departments across the country are volunteer-based? These dedicated men and women serve their communities selflessly but recruiting and retaining volunteers is becoming increasingly challenging.

Now is the time to step up. Reach out to your local fire department to learn how you can serve, support, and help make your community safer.

Elevated Fire Danger is possible again today across most of the area. Since fire behavior could be hard to anticipate in these conditions it is recommended to leave outdoor burning to the professionals.
