100% volunteer, licensed advanced life support ambulance service

South Hero Rescue needs more members to be able to continue helping our community.

Rescue responds to ~200 rescue calls per year, but we have reached a critically low number of EMT members (currently only 7). Some days we have trouble fielding a crew to respond to our town's 911 calls.

As an EMT on S. Hero Rescue you only respond when you can & to situations where you feel comfortable. There are no assigned shifts in order to help our volunteers manage their other commitments (work, kids, etc). A rescue call can take 30 minutes to 2 hours if the patient needs transport to the hospital. Most rescue calls are for helping people that simply need some assistance getting to the hospital for things like back or abdominal pain or falls, or after car accidents -- which thanks to crumple zones & airbags are usually minor. Rescue also responds to all fire-related 911 calls to assist the South Hero Fire Dept. Becoming an EMT is a very rewarding way to help our small town & you learn important skills that save lives.

Incorporated on June 20, 1973, South Hero Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c) non-profit organization. We provide the town of South Hero, Vermont with immediate emergency care and ambulance services. Meetings/training sessions are Tuesday nights @ 7pm.
