EMS
The EMS Branch responds to all medical emergencies, medevac transports, fire related calls, and provides assistance at the hospital. EMS personnel are trained from Emergency Trauma Technician (ETT) through Emergency Medical Technician 3 (EMT-3). The EMS Coordinator serves as the training officer for the EMS Branch and works closely with the Medical Director to ensure the department stays in compliance with Federal, State and local pre-hospital requirements.

*We understand that life is busy (family, work, school, volunteering, etc) and your time is limited. Maybe your job requires you to be away from town frequently and/or for long periods of time. Maybe your boss will not allow you to leave work. Do not let your busy schedule deter you from becoming a volunteering with PVFD. We currently have members from all walks of life: fishermen, Forest Service employees, self-employed business owners, hospital employees, small business employees, retired persons, etc. We just ask that you participate when you can.
