've had direct dealings with EMS members several times over the last few years, on my own behalf and those of others. I am in awe of the compassion, caring, and skilled techs who we are blessed with in our tiny community on the edge of nowhere. Thank you for doing your jobs above and beyond what is expected. I am forever grateful.

I was having some breathing problems about a year ago , I called 911 and Ajo Ambulance was at my door in 2 to 3 minutes. They checked me over and determined that I needed to go to hospital. I thought I might have caught Covid 19. They are very professional, courteous, and genius concern. As it turned my copd was acting up from breathing in to much dust and other things. I was tested at the hospital and concerned that if I had covid 19 I didn't want to spread it around. Tests came back negative. That was over a year ago. Can't say enough , so will say they were great. Thanks Ajo Ambulance .
