Emergency Medical Services

Many township governments offer emergency medical services in their communities.

Some townships own an EMS or ambulance service, and other townships purchase services from an adjoining community or private contractor.

A number of local governments merge resources and jointly operate an EMS service.

In more rural areas, fire and police personnel are often cross-trained as paramedics to provide local medical services.
