Mission Statement
To provide a valuable community 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.
Welcome to the home page for Fredericktown EMS. Our site is designed as both an informative and educational portal for squad members, citizens, and other departments alike to benefit.
We have a 2010 Horton ambulance and a 2005 McCoy Miller ambulance, as well as a equipped Dodge Durango. We also have equipped a John Deere Gator to be used as an alternate response vehicle for off- road emergencies and special events. We also have a trailer that we have worked with multiple organizations for use in the case if disasters when additional resources and shelter is needed. With these vehicles we serve the northwestern portion of Knox County, Ohio which includes the Village of Fredericktown, as well as Berlin, Middlebury, Wayne, Pike, and a portion of Morris Townships. The population we provide our services to has grown to over 8,700 residents expanding throughout our rural community.
Our Station, based in the Village of Fredericktown, operates two Advanced Life Support ambulances. Both of these ambulances are equipped with some of the latest life saving technology, which can range from cardiac and pulmonary care to trauma treatment and injury management.
We have members on station between the hours of 7:00am and 7:00pm every day of the week. From 7:00pm until 7:00am our volunteers respond from their homes to the station to provide care in the evenings. We currently have a staff of 31 members, of which 10 are paramedics, 4 are Intermediates, and 17 are Basic Emergency Medical Technicians. Our medical director is Dr. M. Bradley Smith, who practices locally in the Village of Fredericktown and at Knox Community Hospital, directs our Emergency Medical system as well as our Continuing Education Site.
We have achieved the status of an Ohio Division of EMS Approved Continuing Education Site # 2355. This status allows us to host educational classes for our members and the members of surrounding departments allowing us to keep current with the ever changing medical field, while updating our knowledge of new equipment, as well as new forms of treatment to better serve our patients during their time of need.
We would like to thank all of our community for their support as we practice within our district. Our main goal as EMT's and as volunteers is 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 comfort that our community offers.
