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 two McCoy Miller ambulances, as well as a
newly equipped Dodge Durango. 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 8,500 residents expanding throughout
our rural community.
Our Station, based in the Village of Fredericktown,
operates two McCoy Miller 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 5:00pm every day of the week. From 5:00pm until
7:00am our volunteers respond from their homes to the station to
provide care in the evenings. We currently have a staff of 32
members, of which 8 are paramedics, 5 are Intermediates, and 19 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.
