Emergency Medical Service (EMS)

Eureka County’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) consist of two volunteer ambulance services, managed by EMS Coordinator Kenny Sanders. The Eureka Volunteer Ambulance Service serves Eureka, Diamond Valley, the surrounding areas and into White Pine, Nye and Lander Counties, while the Crescent Valley Volunteer Ambulance Service covers Crescent Valley, Beowawe, and nearby locations like Cortez Mine, I-80 and into Lander County.

These services are staffed by volunteer Advanced EMTs, Basic EMTs, and drivers, supported by full-time Advanced EMTs. A volunteer physician medical director oversees quality and medical direction. The county operates five ambulances equipped with intermediate technology, including AEDs, vital sign monitors and some advanced lifesaving equipment, and a mass casualty trailer that can treat up to 50 patients. The robust Public Access Defibrillator program places AEDs in public buildings, schools, fire departments, and Sheriff’s units, thanks to community partnerships. However, the success of these services relies on dedicated volunteers. We urge community members to get involved or encourage others to join, as the continuity of these vital services depends on your support.
