Gordon Volunteer Rescue Squad

08/22/2026

Our communities need help to keep our ambulances running. If you have heard about the shortages in Rural EMS, and in some places, ambulance services unable to continue at all, you know how vital it is that we keep ours running. Please consider volunteering. You can contact any of your local volunteers for information- we would love to get an EMT class started if we have enough interested.

We couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you!

And finally, to our amazing Gordon community- A huge THANK YOU! Your continued support means more to us than you know. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful community behind our EMS team.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads in EMS, fire, rescue, and emergency services.

Thank you for answering calls at all hours, missing holidays, leaving family dinners, and still showing up for your communities when people need help most. Volunteerism is not easy. It takes sacrifice from the whole family, not just the person wearing the uniform.

Today we recognize the fathers who balance being caregivers at home while also serving others during emergencies, disasters, and difficult days. Your dedication, leadership, and example matter more than most people will ever fully understand.

From our EMS family to yours, thank you for your service, your time, and your commitment to helping others.

Happy Father’s Day
