Remsen Ambulance Celebrates 40 Years Of Service

(Remsen) — The Remsen Ambulance Services will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a dance and fund raiser. Kevin Rollins serves as the Director of the Remsen Ambulance Services and explains the events scheduled for Saturday evening.

Rollins says tickets are $20 for the evening’s dance with the sounds from the band “Lock and Loaded”. Rollins says the proceeds from the dance are to help purchase defibrillators.

The Remsen Ambulance Services Director says the staff now consists of 15 volunteers.

On average, Rollins says the Remsen Ambulance Services responds to around 250 calls each year.

Rollins was one of the original charter volunteers when the Remsen Ambulance Service began in 1979.

Rollins says the Remsen Ambulance Services is now its own entity, and no longer is a part of the Remsen Fire Department. Rollins expresses his gratitude for the Remsen community for the past 40 years of support. The dance scheduled for Saturday will begin at 8:00 p.m. and will continue until midnight, and will be held outdoors in the street in front of Beer City.
