Our ambulances sometimes feel lonely. They want volunteers to help fill the seats and help our community.

Riding members are expected to schedule themselves for 18 or more hours per month. We will provide driving classes and/or sponsor you for an EMT class. If you aren't comfortable with running calls, you can join as a "social" member and help our organization in other ways - fundraising, grant writing, building maintenance, administrative help, etc.

For more information about volunteering, message us here on Facebook, email [email protected], or leave a voice mail at 585-213-4049.

SWEMS is always looking for volunteers who want to become EMTs or Drivers, but we also appreciate our members who help behind the scenes. We call them social members - those are members who assist around the station with administrative help, paperwork, grant writing, stocking supplies, building maintenance, event help, and more.

It takes a lot of behind the scenes help to ensure that our ambulances are running. Even if you "don't like the sight of blood" or have medical issues where you can't physically be on the ambulance but want to put your mind to use, there are things you can help with. Contact us here, leave a message at 585-213-4049, or stop in when you see a crew at the station for more info.

America is 250 years old today. This is a milestone that deserves to be celebrated. A-14 participated in the Wayland parade this morning. It was a wonderful parade and good to see everybody out there.

Just before the parade, our duty crew responded to a call on A-4 with ALS-103 as our intercepting partner. When our parade crew got back, they were greeted with the note of appreciate from Melissa on ALS-103.
We have great volunteers and our partner and neighboring EMS agencies have a lot of great providers. We wish everyone who is working today to have a safe holiday shift.

Our volunteers carry voice pagers and receive calls via an app on our phones. Some of our members are allowed to leave work to respond to calls and others try to schedule their work hours to help improve our coverage. If you see a member running a green dash light in their car, they are likely heading to the base to get the ambulance rolling or heading directly to the scene to assist a crew already out on a call.

We are always looking for volunteers. If you want to be a driver or EMT, we will sponsor you for free training! Help your community, become an EMS volunteer today.

SWEMS is a Local EMS service that is self-supporting. We do not receive any support from property taxes, but we still have a lot of overhead. Between mortgage, loans, insurance, fuel, and equipment it takes a lot to keep our ambulances on the road.

If we added a paid crew, our cost to provide service would be 5 times more and the current billing and donation income would not cover the cost at all. That is why volunteers are critical to all small town EMS services. But, it's not only the cost - it's keeping EMS Local - knowing the people who are responding to your call and knowing that our volunteer professionals are members of our community.

Safety of our volunteers is vital. We provide safety gear to all of our members. If you see our crews or any other responders out on the roadway for a call, please slow down and be careful.

Our duty crew was proud to be able to join the other first responder agencies from across the school district in escorting the graduating seniors to their grad bash event at the school.

Congratulations to the Wayland-Cohocton class of 2026 graduates!

Please follow the move over laws! When you see emergency lights on the highway - red, blue, or amber - please slow down and move over. It's the law, but more importantly, it's the safety of the responders on the roadway.

In this edition of the SWEMS Chronicles, we show a crew doing a rig check where we make sure everything is ready for a call and they discuss the cost of a couple of items.

Our volunteers spend time together at our station, especially Friday evenings when our members are hanging out for dinner and winding down from our normal work week. If you see members at the station, feel free to ring the bell and ask for a tour.
