High Quality, Dependable Emergency Medical Services
Our mission is to provide high-quality, dependable emergency medical service throughout Putnam County.
Presently our agency offers fully staffed advanced life support (ALS), blanketing the region to allow for an immediate response to your critical call for help. The State Health Department thoroughly inspects each emergency unit on an annual basis. Furthermore, our unit offers the most advanced technology available.
Who We Are
Most residents are very familiar with the gleaming gold & white vehicle that can be seen throughout Putnam County. Licensed by the state of West Virginia, the Advanced Life Support Units (ALS) are fully equipped to provide the highest standard of pre-hospital emergency care.
All on board are highly trained Paramedics and EMTs. These individuals undergo vigorous training and continuing education to be able to offer Putnam County citizens the possible services.
Dial 911 for Emergencies
If you are unable to call or fear that doing so may result in harm to yourself or others, you can send a text to “911”. However, a voice call is preferable if you are able to do so safely.
We Are Hiring
We are hiring EMTs and Paramedics. Part-Time and Full Time available.
If you meet the qualifications for any of these positions, please contact us.

🚑 CONGRATULATIONS, MOLLY! 👏
Please join us in congratulating our very own EMT Molly Brown on successfully passing the Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) course last week in Martinsburg, WV!
Hosted at the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department and offered through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA, and the WV Governor’s Highway Safety Program, this certification means Molly is now able to:
✅ Check car seats and booster seats for proper, safe installation
✅ Educate caregivers on best practices for keeping children safe on the road
We’re proud to have Molly serving our community and helping keep our youngest passengers safe. 💛

🚑 PUTNAM COUNTY LAUNCHES PULSE POINT RESPOND APP ❤️
Putnam County is now live with PulsePoint Respond - a lifesaving app that alerts nearby citizens when someone is experiencing cardiac arrest.
📞 When 911 receives a cardiac arrest call, the app:
• Notifies people close to the emergency
• Shows the location of nearby AEDs
• Helps connect bystanders to begin CPR and early defibrillation
💡Brain damage can begin in just four minutes, and survival decreases by 10% for every minute without CPR and defibrillation. Early action saves lives.
Putnam County is the first county in West Virginia to launch PulsePoint.
📲 Available for Apple and Android
🔔 Be sure to enable location services and notifications
Pictured from today’s media release at the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office are members of our team, medical directors Dr. Taylor and Dr. Ray, and two cardiac arrest survivors whose lives were saved thanks to early CPR and defibrillation.
Special thank you to Paramedic Calley Yingst for leading this initiative.
Together, we can strengthen the chain of survival in our community. ... See MoreSee Less
