We are a volunteer group in West Salem, WI that provides EMS coverage for the Village of West Salem, Town of Barre, and Town of Hamilton. We have been providing this service since 1986. We respond to medical calls as needed, when paged out, 24/7/365. We average about 1.5 calls/day.
We are looking for volunteers that are in the medical field, who would be interested in getting volunteer hours while helping the community. If you are certified as a first responder, EMT, paramedic, nurse, doctor, or any similar license we want you to join our team! This is a great way to get some hands on experience and see what the real world has to offer and gets you that experience you need for your career path.
If you do not have any certifications, you are still able to do our ride along program. This involves riding along to the calls, and observing what we do, but you would not be able to be hands on. This is a good way to find out if this field is for you.
There is no set schedule to follow. You are able to put yourself on call, when you are able. All we ask is you try and put in 48 hours a month.
Responding to an emergency medical call requires a fast response. Because of this, you would be required to be in West Salem so you can get to the station in a timely manner. We do offer college students the ability to spend the day/night at the station. A great time to get homework and studying done. We have a full bathroom, and even a washing machine and dryer.
If you are interested or have any other questions, please contact us.
We need your help!
