Calling all past members of EPAS!!! We are celebrating 50 years of service this year and are planning some fun events during Flag Festival on June 13th to honor those who have served. We want to get the word out and hopefully hear from past members if they would be interested in attending. Reach out to us here or at [email protected]. We will share more about this big day as we get closer. Please share this far and wide so we can reach as many members as possible.

When your neighboring service has a Spaghetti Supper on your meeting night you feed your crew Spaghetti. We had a delicious pre-meeting meal tonight. Thank you to Montezuma Fire & Rescue for the great supper!

Happy EMS week to the best group of EMS providers out there. Our community has certainly been blessed with a great bunch of EMS providers. There are no words that can express my feelings about the work you all do. All I can say is I am thankful for you all everyday and am proud to serve beside you! We have all been through a lot together and I think that is what makes us strong. Thank you for your service and here is to a strong EPAS for years to come!
