Info

Evansdale Fire Rescue has been providing Emergency Medical Care to our citizens since the Department was first founded. Our care has evolved from the early years of "load and go", to offering quality, advanced pre-hospital treatment to all our patients. We provide two fully staffed advanced care Ambulances and have mutual aid agreements with surrounding services, including helicopter transport from Covenant Medical Center in Waterloo, as the needs arise. Persons interested in entering the EMS field and qualify for membership on our Department are encouraged to apply. Upon successful completion of a probationary period, members are sent to accredited adult education facilities where they receive training for certification as EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate, EMT-Paramedic and EMT-Paramedic Specialist. Our EMS division is coordinated by Paramedic Specialist Gerald "Jerry" Dolf who oversees the continuing education and certifications of all members and is under the administrative section supervised by Assistant Chief Rick Reuter.
