We are proud to VOLUNTEER and serve

Volunteer EMS has a story.

It’s the responder who steps away from the dinner table when the pager tones.
The one who answers a call after a full day at their regular job.
The one who trades sleep, family time, and quiet moments—because someone in their community needs help.

Volunteer EMS doesn’t clock in.
They don’t do this for recognition.
They show up because they care about their neighbors.
They respond in the middle of the night- in bad weather- on holidays- after long workdays.

And lately, they’ve carried the weight of some very hard calls.
The kind that stay with you long after the truck is back in service.
The kind that test your strength, your compassion, and sometimes your heart.
Yet they come back—steady, professional, and ready to answer the next tone.

And they don’t stand alone.

Alongside fire departments, law enforcement, dispatchers, nurses, physicians, and so many others on the front line, they form the network our communities rely on when life turns upside down.

They walk into uncertainty so others can find relief.
They bring calm to chaos, compassion to crisis, and dignity to some of life’s hardest moments.
These are not strangers helping strangers.
These are community members helping friends, family, and people they may know by name.

The weight is real.
The sacrifices are real.
The commitment is real.

Yet they answer—again and again.

To every volunteer whether you be a Paramedic, EMT, driver, first responder, firefighter or support member—and to all our partners who stand beside them:

Your time matters- your skills matter -your presence matters (more than you know).

YOU are the backbone of rural emergency care.
YOU are proof that service is stronger than circumstance.

And your community is safer because YOU choose to answer the call.

Thank you for continuing to show up.

I am taking the Woodbury County Government on the road! Please mark your calendars for Thursday March 5th at the Anthon Event Center. Woodbury County Supervisors, Department Heads, and other Elected Officials from the county as well as the City of Anthon will be on hand to do Q&A as well as provide updates about what is going on in the county.

Anthon Community Development Corporation is lining up a tour of main-street businesses to showcase what’s going on in town prior to the town hall starting. After the town hall many elected officials and staff are planning on having supper at the Fireside(everyone is responsible for their own food/drinks). Anyone who would like to join is welcome! This will provide an opportunity to socialize and talk more about the issues facing Woodbury County.

More to come, but we hope to see as many of you there as possible! See you March 5th in Anthon! City of Anthon Anthon Community Ambulance Service Anthon Fire Dept Woodbury County Farm Bureau Woodbury County Cattlemen's Association Woodbury County Preservation

On Saturday Jan. 10, 2026, we laid to rest retired EMT Shirlene Kelsheimer. She served for 24 years on the Anthon Rescue Squad. After retiring, she continued to support our department and serve her community in many ways. This isn’t goodbye, it’s until we meet again.
