Our History

Eastern Marshall County EMS was established on January 1, 2015, following the merger of two fire districts. This collaboration was driven by the need for a more efficient and cost-effective EMS service, ensuring that residents received reliable, high-quality emergency care.

Initially, EMC-EMS operated as a volunteer-based service, with no full-time crews available around the clock. Recognizing the growing need for consistent, advanced medical care, the leadership team worked toward transitioning to a fully staffed, 24/7 Advanced Life Support (ALS) operation.

By October 2020, EMC-EMS officially became an ALS-certified provider, ensuring that every primary emergency call has at least one licensed paramedic on duty at all times. Today, we operate under a hybrid staffing model, combining full-time professionals with trained volunteers to ensure rapid response and reliable service.
