25th Anniversary Troy Emergency Ambulance ServiceTroy Fire Protection District Emergency Ambulance started with its first call May 13, 1980. The first class of EMT's had finished their initial training April of that year. Our first ambulance had been purchased with the help of revenue sharing monies from Troy Township and the Village of Shorewood . Since then another, much needed, ambulance has been purchased. Through fundraisers and generous donations we have been able to purchase much needed equipment and training materials. All members of the ambulance squad are volunteers, not paid for any time they spend on calls, at training or maintaining equipment. After their initial training, every two years EMT's must recertify with the state. They must show proof of having completed at least 48 hours of classroom practical continuing education, a 20 hour refresher course and have current C.P.R. certification. Many of our members have furthered their training above and beyond the minimum and/or maintained their previous training. Eight members have become Emergency Rescue Technicians, four C.P.R. instructors, one a paramedic and we have three R.N.'s. Troy Ambulance runs an average of 1200 calls per year - many requiring both ambulances to transport patients. The ambulance also assists the fire department by standing by at structure fires. Troy Ambulance has twenty-three members, both men and women who dedicate their time and effort to keeping an ambulance available to Troy Fire Protection District residents twenty-four hours a day. view calls per year stat sheet Ambulance staff first started as volunteer. Presently it is all full time personnel.
