Put-in-Bay Emergency Medical Services has been a leader in Advanced Life Support since 1977. Put-in-Bay Township has partnered with Mercy Health Services to provide EMS services to Put-in-Bay and eight other Erie islands. We are staffed year round and are equipped with the most modern Advanced Life Support equipment and medications. During the busy summer months, our part time staff travel from ar

ound the state to provide coverage to PIB on a daily basis, and Middle Bass Island on weekends. In the off season, services are provided by a full time paramedic and volunteer EMT staff consisting of island residents. Our team averages 450 calls per year. Calls to other islands and water rescues are handled in conjunction with the Put-in-Bay Village Harbor Patrol and Put-in-Bay Volunteer Fire Department. Put-in-Bay EMS has an on-site, fully equipped training center and offers CPR training to the general public. We house two patient care rooms to provide ongoing care in case of inclement weather. We also provide several community services such as weekly blood pressure checks and lab draws for those needing bloodwork. Darrell Long, Manager

🚨 CLEARING THE SHELVES! 🚨

The Men of the Bass Islands are making way for the 2027 edition, so we're giving these local legends one last chance to find a good home!

For a limited time, calendars are just $10 (regularly $25).

Sure, there are only a few months left in the calendar... but let's be honest—these aren't just calendars anymore. They're practically collector's items!

Besides, we'd much rather see them hanging on your wall than collecting dust on our shelves.

And really... at $10, that's less than a dollar per dad bod. We'd call that a bargain. 😉

Over the past month, our crew took part in 7 trainings, each ending with a challenge to test their skills, knowledge, and decision-making. Every night, one standout performer took home a Golden Mixtape Award 🏆

Even in the virtual world, the Middle Bass crew dominated, taking home 4 out of 7 wins 👏

To top it all off, Bree Reynolds earned the ultimate upgrade—The Golden CD 💿—for attending all 7 trainings and showing incredible dedication throughout the month.

We’re proud of everyone who participated, pushed themselves, and made this such a fun and competitive training series.

🚑 EMR vs EMT: The Assessment Showdown
Tonight, the clipboards changed hands.
Over the past few months, our EMTs dedicated their time helping our EMR students through labs and hands-on training. They showed up, they coached, they mentored.
Last night, the EMRs returned the favor — proctoring live patient assessment scenarios while the EMTs stepped into the hot seat.
No hints. No rescue. Just real critical thinking under pressure.
And they absolutely killed it — which is exactly why their awards had names like:
🩺 Clinical Assassin
🩸 Hemorrhage Hitman
🚑 Scene Slayer
💨 Airway Executioner
⚡ Shock Sniper
Proud of this crew and the culture we’re building!
Back L to R: Andy Burns, Nate Jones, Ashley Mann, Lucas Guy, Ben Jones, Noah Kneisley.
Front L to R: Megan Beck, Bree Reynolds

Last night’s trauma training brought the realism — and the teamwork.
Our EMTs and EMRs responded to a simulated officer-involved shooting and motor vehicle crash. A huge thank you to PIB PD officers Gary Allred and Jason Simon for being our "patients." Your participation made this invaluable for our staff! We also want to thank our new Police Chief, Mike Dillon for supporting collaboration between our departments. Partnerships like this strengthen the entire community!
Bree Reynolds , Nate Jones, Anne Auger, Andy Burns, Ashley Marie Mann, Noah Kneisley, John Domer and Greg Auger...you were rock stars!
