The Frontier County Ambulance Service is a volunteer-based advanced life support service that covers the majority of Frontier County, the southern portions of Lincoln County and the eastern portions of Hayes County.  The ambulance services are separated into two regions, Curtis and Maywood, although they both function under one service and are governed by one board. Any emergency that comes into the local sheriff's office is handled with local paramedics, nurses and EMT's. 

The Curtis Volunteer EMT's have two ambulances - one for service calls and a second for events such as local sporting events and a secondary unit for special cases. Maywood Volunteer EMT's also have one unit available for emergency calls. 

Our departments are staffed with paramedics, nurses and EMT's that are all on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
