Troy Volunteer Fire & Ambulance is a non-profit volunteer EMS agency, meaning trained local volunteers respond from home, work, or the station when a 911 call is received. In rural Idaho, response times can be longer due to distance, weather, terrain, and volunteer availability. Calling 911 as soon as an emergency occurs is critical—it allows responders to begin responding immediately and ensures the right resources are dispatched. Community members can help improve outcomes by being proactive: learn basic first aid and CPR, keep emergency contact information visible, clearly mark house numbers, maintain accessible driveways year-round, and secure pets before responders arrive.
Early recognition of emergencies and quick action can save lives.
