So… what do I get back for my time?

Do I have what it takes?

The individuals who serve at Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad are caring, courageous community members who lead active lives.  They live their lives like each and every one of us and still find time to give back to their community.  They are teachers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, business people, and local business owners. When they get home, they spend as much time as possible with their families just to show them how much they love them.  Yet somehow, these men and women are different.  They are special!  Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, they make the lives of all residents of Elizabethtown, Lewis, hamlet of New Russia and other surrounding towns safer and more secure…without ever asking for a thank you or compensation.
