Since 1960, C-ARS volunteers have provided emergency services to the community, funded primarily by donations from the community. Your donations give us the ability to care for those with life-threatening circumstances, and provide vital equipment, facilities, and training opportunities for our volunteers.
Personal Protective Equipment
C-ARS volunteers are currently working hard to provide care to patients during the coronavirus pandemic. For individuals and organizations interested in donating personal protective equipment (PPE; this includes disposable gloves, isolation gowns, eye glasses, face masks, particulate respirators, and similar equipment), please contact us at donations@rescue1.org to coordinate secure drop-off and receipt acknowledgement.

In addition to providing the highest level of emergency medical service (EMS) care, C-ARS maintains a cache of specialized rescue equipment for vehicle accidents, water rescue, low & high angle rope rescue, confined space rescue, and trench/building collapse rescue. This specialized equipment is available for response not only in the areas where we provide primary ambulance service, but also throughout the entire region. Squad 133, our primary heavy rescue squad, is now 30 years old and will need to be replaced at an estimated cost of $800,000. In addition, our station (built in 1964) is in desperate need of renovations likely to cost several million dollars.
To continue providing services, we need your financial support. Every dollar donated makes a difference, and all donations are tax-deductible.
