Lake County Ambulance Service

LCAS is a private non-profit ambulance service that provides ambulance coverage to Lake County, as well as areas of St. Louis and Cook Counties

Currently, Lake County Ambulance Service (LCAS) staffs two stations. The base of operations is located in the city of Two Harbors with a substation in Silver Bay. LCAS has 30+ members with a mixture of EMTs and Paramedics. In October of 2013, LCAS became licensed at the Advanced Life Support level. Being able to provide an even higher level of advanced care at the scene of an incident and througho

ut transport is very beneficial to the health of our patients. LCAS is now even better equipped to handle critical patients at the scene and during transport. With this change patients also receive a higher level of care in the initial stages of treatment. Lake County Ambulance Service strives to provide the best possible patient care with the latest advanced technology equipment. Our employees continually attend training to keep up with current best practices in EMS.

Yesterday was a great day for some golf at the Chamber of Commerce Golf Classic. Always a great time on the course with great people!

We are excited to announce that the final inspection for our new ambulance is complete and it will be starting it's long journey home from Washington. 876 will be stopping in Iowa first to get graphics and we can expect it the middle of August.

This ambulance is different than our others. Instead of a single cab up front, we opted for the crew cab. We chose this for multiple reasons. We are a teaching service and have a 3rd rider quite a bit of the time. This makes it where we can have all 3 personnel in the cab on the way to a call where planning and discussions can happen more easily and no one misses out on any information. It also gives us the ability to transport more people if the situation calls for it.

A big thank you to Braun Northwest for building our newest ambulance and making sure everything was fit for our needs. We are excited to put it into service!

Air quality is very bad today. Thick smoke and some ash falling is not a good combination for our lungs. Today is unfortunately not the day to go out for a hike or be outside in general. Stay indoors when you can. The air quality warning is in place until Friday so we still have a few more days of this.

Also, a big thank you and good luck to all of the firefighters that are currently battling the fires up north!

The air quality for our county will not be improving. Throughout today and tomorrow air quality is listed to be hazardous. Anyone with respiratory issues or health concerns should try and stay inside whenever possible. The air quality can easily exacerbate conditions. If you start to have any respiratory symptoms, move someplace cooler and cleaner quickly.

EMT in the Schools Update:

Our 2nd EMT in the Schools class is moving along at a nice pace. They recently just earned their American Heart Association BLS CPR certification. Not only is this the first certification they obtain towards their EMT license, but it's also a milestone in the course as they are now preparing for their clinical rotations on the ambulance. Keep up the good work students!

HWY 61 is currently closed heading north out of Two Harbors due to the fire. Please use alternative routes to get up and down the shore.

Our crews are still available for 911 calls, though response times may be extended due to travel routes. Stay safe everyone

This week we celebrate those voices on the other end of the radio. Our dispatchers are the reason we are able to provide care to those who need it. Without them, we would not be able to have the resources or the speed to care for somebody on their worst day. Thank you to the ones who answer that call and become the first step in the emergency response system. We couldn't do it without you!
