Emergency Medical Service

Post by medic5740 »

To follow up on the previous post:

If you need emergency assessment, emergency treatment, and emergency transport or any combination this evening, you can also call me at home:

448-2416

I am the paramedic on-call and will respond to you directly calling on the radio as I respond. We will gladly assist you to get wherever you need to go.

Down yet again

Post by medic5740 »

The long distance is down once again, meaning that the 911 service is once again not working.

The medical center phone number 2275 for your needs.

If you have an emergency, you can call McDonough's Market for fire issues.

If you need an ambulance, you can call McDonough's or call me at home at 2416.
