😊A huge thank you to Calamity Jane’s Kitchen in Custer for going above and beyond for our crews a few days ago!

Shortly after placing a food order, our ambulance crews were called to an emergency call before their food arrived. Instead of letting the meals go cold, the amazing staff at Calamity Jane’s delivered the food right to the ambulance station for us.

We are incredibly grateful for the kindness and support from our community and local businesses like Calamity Jane’s Kitchen . Thank you for taking care of the crews who are always ready to answer the call! 🚑❤️

📢We are incredibly grateful to announce that Custer Ambulance Service has received a $10,000 grant from the First Interstate Custer Area Fund, a permanently endowed fund within the South Dakota Community Foundation.

This funding will help purchase a generator for our building, ensuring our service can continue operating and serving our community during power outages and emergencies. Reliable power means reliable patient care — no matter the circumstances.

Thank you to the First Interstate Custer Area Fund and the South Dakota Community Foundation for investing in the safety and well-being of our community. Your support helps us continue to be ready when our neighbors need us most. 🚑💙

💪Custer Ambulance Service is committed to keeping our community safe—and that starts with keeping our team strong.

To make sure our EMTs and Paramedics are physically prepared for the demands of the job, all field staff are required to complete a “Pack Test.” This test simulates real-world conditions, measuring strength, endurance, and the ability to perform under physical stress—just like we may need to do during emergencies, long transports, or challenging rescue situations.

Our high fitness standards help ensure:

-Safer care for our patients
-Better teamwork on scene
-Reduced risk of injuries for our staff

You can rest assured that when our crew responds, you’ll be in capable, well-prepared hands—ready to provide the care and support you need, when you need it most.

We’re proud of our crews for putting in the work to meet these standards and for continually training to be ready when you need us most. Custer Ambulance Service is here for you 🚑

🚑 EMT Class Update! 🚑

We are so proud of the progress our hybrid Advanced/Basic EMT students have been making! These dedicated students have been putting in the work both in and out of the classroom, and it shows.

Over the past few weeks, students have been sharpening their skills in some key areas:

🩺 Patient Assessment – Learning to quickly and accurately assess patients is one of the most critical skills an EMT can have, and our students are rising to the challenge.

💉 IV Skills – Starting IVs takes practice, patience, and precision. Our students have been drilling this hands-on skill and making great strides!

💊 Medication Doses – Knowing the right medication and the right dose can be the difference between life and death. Our students are hitting the books and the simulations to make sure they've got it down.

We couldn't be more proud of their dedication and hard work. Stay tuned for more updates as they continue their journey toward becoming certified EMTs!

🚑💥 Custer Ambulance Service just wrapped up our Annual Refresher Class — and it was INCREDIBLE!

First responders from the area came together for 4 days of hands-on training, continuing education, and skill sharpening to make sure we're always ready to give our communities the BEST emergency care possible.

A HUGE thank you to our outstanding guest speakers:
⭐ Cindy Ballinghoff, RN — Pediatrics & Cardiac Care
⭐ Lexi Fredericksen, RN — OB/Neonatal Emergencies
⭐ Black Hills Life Flight — Difficult Airway Management
⭐ Matt Stroot, Paramedic & EMS Educator for Rapid City Fire Department — Pathophysiology

The depth and quality of knowledge shared was truly exceptional — all participants walked away sharper, more confident, and better prepared than ever! 🙌

We are so proud of every single first responder who shows up — not just on the job, but to keep learning and growing. That dedication saves lives. 💙

Thank you to ALL who participated — YOU are what makes your communities safer and better prepared to handle any emergency! 🙌

🥳Congratulations to Jim and Hunter!

We are incredibly fortunate to work alongside outstanding first responder partners throughout Custer County. Every day, our crews have the privilege of responding shoulder-to-shoulder with our local fire departments, law enforcement, emergency communications/dispatch, and other public safety agencies who share our commitment to caring for this community.

South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley: This Basic Law Enforcement Training class, which graduates Friday, is a historic one. It is the 200th class to compete this course, which has produced outstanding law enforcement officers for this state since 1960. This is a day of celebration. https://atg.sd.gov/OurOffice/Media/pressreleasesdetail.aspx?id=3020 .tab=0

📢Proud to share a community partnership that keeps our team both ready and recognizable. 🚑👕

We’ve teamed up with South Dakota Outdoor Shop, who now provides the official uniforms for our ambulance crews. Their high-quality, durable gear helps our staff stay comfortable and professional in all conditions—whether we’re responding in the heat of summer or the middle of the night.

This collaboration means we can focus more on what matters most: delivering fast, compassionate emergency care to our community, while supporting a local business that shares our commitment to safety and service.

Thank you to Brandon, Lindsay, and the entire crew at South Dakota Outdoor Shop for having our backs—literally and figuratively. Go visit these wonderful people and this awesome local business for all your "Gear, Beer, and Adventure" needs! 🙌
