Northeast Emeregency Care

Wednesday, February 06, 2013
By Scott Yoder

Last year, in order to better serve our community, Northeast Fire & EMS raised its level of emergency medical care from a daytime staffed, nighttime volunteer service, to an around-the-clock staffed paramedic service.  Paramedic level service is the highest level of pre-hospital care available.   Along with this higher level of care, we are offering a way to help reduce your out-of-pocket emergency ambulance costs.  We are offering a membership subscription called Northeast Emergency Care that will help you pay less for your emergency ambulance expenses.   Our Northeast Emergency Care plan is very comparable to a LifeCare plan, which has been offered to our community in the past.   LifeCare will no longer be accepted once your current subscription expires.  An informational flyer will be mailed out to the residents of our community explaining the costs and savings if you choose to subscribe.  More information is available in the flyer below or by calling our Grabill Fire Station at 260-627-5133.

Thursday, January 14, 2010
By Gina Anderson

Northeast Fire and EMS recently took delivery of a new 75' ladder truck from Pierce Fire Apparatus.  This new truck will replace both our lead engine and ladder truck that ran out of the Grabill Station.  It is referred to as a Quint in the fire service since it is made up of 5 components: a pump, a tank, a truck mounted aerial ladder, ground ladders, and fire hose.  The truck was purchased by Cedar Creek Township.  The truck will be put into service after mounting the loose equipment and training members on its operation.
