About Emergency Services
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.
Today, our crews had a great time participating in Safety Day at West Teays Elementary!
Students had the opportunity to learn about ambulance safety, meet EMS providers, explore our ambulance, and ask lots of great questions. Community education and helping children feel comfortable around first responders is an important part of what we do every day.
A big thank you to the staff and students at West Teays Elementary School for inviting us to be part of such a fun and educational event! 🚑💙 ... See MoreSee Less
