Volunteer

Are you looking for a way to give back to your community?
Are you interested in reaching out on a very personal level to people in crisis?
Volunteering can be the most rewarding thing you've ever done!
 

• Volunteering is inexpensive. Upon successful graduation from your EMT course, BAS will pay your tuition for you!
                                               All additional training and re-certification requirements are provided by BAS.
   
• Volunteering is meaningful.  You will work directly in the community, responding to real emergencies for real patients!
   
• Volunteering is flexible.        From a 24-hour schedule, select the shifts that work for you!
   
• Volunteering is challenging. Expand your boundaries and knowledge beyond your present horizons!
   
• Volunteering is fun!               Team up for endless hours of shared enjoyment with your neighbors!

In 2007 we answered 315 calls from our service area. The Bottineau Ambulance Service covers approximately 800 square miles, starting with the city of Bottineau, east to Dunseith, north to the Peace Garden, west past Bottineau 12 miles (Souris and Kramer area) and two miles south of Willow City. We attend all of the home games at Bottineau high school hockey games and football games, area rodeo events and car races, and all basketball, hockey, and volleyball home games at MSU-Bottineau College .

Typically call time is taken for one week beginning Monday morning at 8:00 am and ending the following Monday at 8:00 am.  Members carry pagers while on call and are encouraged to carry them while not on call to assist with back-up.  When two team members respond to a location in town or a transfer to Minot, two more back-up team members are needed to cover any calls that may happen while the primary crew is out. 

Monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of every month at 7:00 pm at St. Andrew's Hospital. 

If you are interested in volunteering PLEASE contact any ambulance service member for more information. 

Volunteering is easy!  We offer the chance to be as involved in the squad as you want to be.
