Our Station, based in the Village of Fredericktown, is staffed with a minimum of 2 EMS providers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The station operates two Advanced Life Support ambulances that are equipped with some of the latest lifesaving technology, which can range from cardiac and pulmonary care to trauma treatment and injury management.

Our members work under the medical direction of Dr. Aaron Wilson, DO.  Dr. Wilson began serving as the EMS District’s Medical Director in 2017. We rely on the EMT’s, AEMT’s and Paramedics to provide a valuable and much-needed service to the residents of the Fredericktown Community by providing the most recent and effective forms of care to all community members in their time of need.

Both ambulances, a 2015 Braun and a 2020 McCoy/Miller are equipped with Stryker Power-Load systems and Power Cots capable of lifting 700# patients.  A 2022 Chevy pickup truck is Basic Life Support equipped. We also have a Basic Life Support equipped Polaris Ranger to be used as an alternate response vehicle for off-road emergencies and special events. The district also maintains and equips a trailer that we use to work with multiple organizations for use in the case if disasters when additional resources and shelter is needed.

We would like to thank our community for their support as we practice within our district. Our main goals as EMT’s and as volunteers are to help our community in every way that we know possible. While we attempt to do so, we do genuinely appreciate all of the support and confidence that our community offers.
