For almost 70 years, the residents of the Town of St. George have received ambulance services through the dedication of members of the St. George Volunteer Firefighters & Ambulance Association. This includes not only responding to calls, but also putting in many hours of training and fundraising.
Over the years, the number of ambulance calls grew from approximately 50 per year in 1960 to more than 250 calls received through 911 in 2021.
There were also 142 community paramedic visits conducted and 378 vaccinations provided. Additionally, our ambulance provides advanced life support and other mutual aid to surrounding communities. When the decision was made to hire full time ambulance staff, partial funding was requested from town government for the first time. In the current year’s budget, $230,000 was appropriated for this purpose
