Erie Volunteers Build Local Ambulance and Fire Services
Ten residents formed the Erie Volunteer Ambulance Service with county approval as faster emergency care. Thirty five volunteers staff two 12 hour shifts per month with $10 per run, supporting emergency trips to Parsons Chanute KU Medical Center and Tulsa. They fundraise through a park and recreation fund and maintain two ambulances, while also supporting a 20 member volunteer fire department with $1.50 monthly pay and fire training.
