Department Information

The department was organized in 1976 with a federal grant to purchase two ambulances and equipment. Department staffing, which averages around 30 members, was completely volunteer until February 2001. The department then began operating with a combination of volunteer staff and paid staff. Two ambulance units, equipped for ALS, are housed at City Hall. The EMS headquarters is located at 209 Cedar, which is adjacent to City Hall. Chad Cannon, M.D. is the department’s medical advisor.

Join Our Team

To become an EMS volunteer, you may request an application at City Hall, 205 E. 2nd Street, 913-667-1707, carols@bonnersprings.org. Applications are accepted throughout the year and hiring is conducted every two months. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and a state certified attendant to provide patient care. If you are not a state certified attendant, we will assist you in acquiring the necessary classes.

Training

Our department provides a competent training program that meets all the national and state recertification needs of our members. We have training sessions on the first and third Thursdays every month. Please call the station for more information at 913-422-7744. Training is open to the public for recertification hours.
