🚑 WE NEED YOUR HELP — 🚑

This isn’t just another post — this is about the safety of our entire community.
Right now, our volunteer ambulance service is facing a critical shortage of responders. That means when someone calls 911, the nearest ambulance could be 20–30 miles away.

Minutes matter. Those minutes could be the difference between life and death for someone you know — your family, your friends, your neighbors.

Here’s the good news:

👉 We will PAY for your training to become an EMR or EMT
👉 No prior experience needed
👉 Flexible scheduling — you can volunteer around your life
👉 You will make a real, life-saving impact in your community

You don’t have to be a “medical person” to start. You just have to care enough to step up.

This community takes care of each other — and right now, we need people willing to answer the call.

📩 Message us for details or to get started.

Please share this post — even if you can’t volunteer, someone you know might be the person who saves a life.

✨ATTENTION COMMUNITY MEMBERS✨

🚑 Our ambulance service is asking for YOUR help! We will be losing 2 of our long time members in the next few months with a couple more that are not far behind them. While we appreciate them very much and everything they have done for us, this will be a devastating loss to our service. With losing this many members, it puts our service at risk. If we do not have members, we do not have a service and those who call 911 with an emergency will be waiting much longer times for help to arrive. We are fortunate to have this service in our community and are asking for your help to continue!
The ambulance will pay for you to take the class. If anyone is interested in taking this class, the details are posted below. Please feel free to reach out to any crew member for assistance or with questions you may have! We would love to have you on our team!🚑

🚨NURSES🚨
•If you are a nurse, you are able to get a nurse exemption to run on the ambulance. Reach out to us if you’re interested!🙏
