Emergency Response Ambulance Service was established in 1985 when Minidoka Memorial Hospital purchased the service from Minidoka County. Prior to that it had been a privately owned service. We now employ 5 full time and 20 part time Basic and Advanced EMTs. We are staffed 24 hours a day with a Basic and an Advanced EMT team and have another team on call should we need them. We have a fleet of three ambulances, two of which are four-wheel drive and a fourth mass casualty incident management unit is being developed.
