Community Commitment

More than emergency response

Montgomery EMS is woven into the fabric of this community. Beyond 911 calls, we offer CPR and first aid training, provide standby coverage for local gatherings, and mentor the next generation of responders through our cadet program.

Our cadet pathway has launched careers in medicine, nursing, and emergency services. In 2025, eight former Montgomery EMS cadets were admitted to medical school.

  • Free CPR certification for community members
  • Standby coverage for schools, sports, and community events
  • Cadet program for students ages 16–17
  • Safety education at local schools and township gatherings
