Legislature honors Niagara County Ambulance team as part of EMS Week

When the Niagara County Legislature approved the creation of the Niagara County Ambulance Service in 2023, it was in designed to supplement the great work done by our volunteer first-responders who were faced with the dual problems of a declining numbers and more regulatory demands that were leaving them overtaxed.  Now in its third year, the county service continues to be an invaluable component of our county’s overall emergency response system, working in hand in hand with our volunteers.

In 2024, the county ambulance service answered 1831 calls; in 2025, it grew to 2125; through April of 2026, they have already responded to 850 calls.

As today marks the end of National EMS Week, a time to thank our EMS personnel and first responders, Legislator Chris McKimmie presented a proclamation to members of the Niagara County Ambulance Service acknowledging their great work. Thank you to all those who provide emergency services to our community – we truly appreciate you.
