The town of Stowe employs five full-time EMS personnel who are cross-trained in firefighting. This dedicated team covers 15 out of the 28 weekly shifts. The remaining shifts are filled by per-diem workers and volunteers for Stowe EMS, ensuring a fast emergency medical response for the townspeople of Stowe 24/7, 365 days a year. Per-diem workers and volunteers commit to a minimum of two shifts per month to maintain good standing within Stowe EMS and SRS Inc.
Stowe EMS personnel must hold current credentials as either Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT), or Paramedic, and recertify every two years. SRS Inc. provides much of the training equipment required for recertification and can assist with scholarships if needed.
The Town maintains two fully stocked ambulances as well as a squad car, a non-transporting vehicle designed to enhance crew agility. Typically, 2-3 EMS providers are on duty at all times with support from the Stowe Fire Department.
