Put-in-Bay Township Emergency Medical Services has been a leader in Advanced Life Support since 1977 We have three ambulances and one quick response unit.

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 around 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

Today we mourn the loss of retired Paramedic Sean Griewahn, who passed away yesterday after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Sean gave 20 years of dedicated service to Put-in-Bay. He was a brilliant clinician and a quiet force in our department—steady under pressure, unfailingly kind, and completely unflappable. In the middle of chaos, Sean brought an effortless calm, meeting every call with patient professionalism and leading simply by the standard he set every single day.
Our hearts are with Sean’s family during this difficult time. Thank you, Sean, for your quiet dedication, your friendship, and your two decades of service.

Big news for our community!
We are excited to announce that we officially took delivery of a brand-new ambulance today!
A huge thank you to the Township Trustees and our community for your continued support and investment in local emergency medical services. Our crew will spend the next few days stocking, outfitting, and prepping the rig before it officially goes into service to serve our residents and visitors.
Keep an eye out for it on the road soon!

🚨 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.

🚑 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
