I am Chief of Camptonville Volunteer Fire Department, located in Northern California. We are about 30 miles north of Grass Valley/Nevada City and about 90 north of Sacramento, with a population of around 700. There are 19 volunteers in the department, 17 of whom where not around 3 years ago. We get from 3 to 12 calls a month, depending on the time of year. Yearly average is about 50, mostly medical. Of the 19 volunteers, 7 are EMTs. We have come a long way in the last 3 years.

Nome Volunteer Ambulance Service
Former member, sadly missed going to Big Diomede Island former Soviet Union.
I was out of town, darn. All I know is it was a combined effort of Alaska Army Guard UH-60s, and NVAS. Seems the Russians could not get to evac the hurt soldier from their side, so they asked for aid from our side..

Between backing up the local fire department (volunteer), we also worked with the local regional hospital and the regional health aides (sort of a cross between EMT/CNA/Nurse and NP (low end)..

Health Aides: Locals mostly women, many also Army Guard members medics, who worked full time in their often home village. Not always an easy job, especially when its a family member (extended family), or they stop by your house and not the clinic, cause someone likes you? Telemedicine came fast/early due to distance, weather and time limits. Medivacs was often everything from snow machine to helicoptor/plane to other means (not heard of a dog sled one in a while?). Hard job to do!
