Emergency Medical Service
Our History
The Malta & McConnelsville Fire Department established it's Emergency Care Service in the 1930's with very minimal equipment and training. Training consisted of basic first aid.
In December 1972 the fire department created the EMS division to provide this service to the citizens of Morgan County. The department responded with more training and purchased equipment to meet these challenges of saving lives and continues today to provide this training and equipment. Today the advanced life support vehicles coupled with the dedicated professional paramedics, intermediates, and basics respond to this challenge.
