Professionally Trained Volunteer Agency Since 1958
CITIZEN OBSERVER PROGRAM
Observer Information
Anyone in the community is welcome to come and observe what our crews do without obligation to join. Whether you simply want to see EMS in action, need patient contacts for an EMT class, or if you are considering joining and want first hand experience of what volunteering is like and what our crews face while performing their duties, this is for you.
What an Observer Does
As the name suggests, an Observer simply observes. They will participate in all the tasks our crews perform each night. That includes riding on an ambulance to every call, going into patients houses or stopping on the side of the road for a car accident. You will see the crew performing patient assessments and treatments, ride with the patient in the ambulance to the hospital and go inside the emergency room. You may even see someone cut out of a car or respond to a house fire.

How to Become an Observer
