Delaware County EMS

Today DCEMS Medic 3, Captain 462 and DelCoco911 participated in Camp Skeeter at Oak Creek Elementary Olentangy Schools. Students learned about when to dial 911, what is an emergency, our equipment, and what paramedics do.
This is always a very fun event for both the kids and our staff and we really appreciate the invite!

And our final post this evening and of EMS week 2026 is about the future of DCEMS. As the county grows, so will we to accommodate the needs. One significant step to accommodate this growth in 2019 was to add Medic 11 in City of Sunbury, Ohio to serve the area and the growth in Berkshire Township, Ohio. The next step was creating an agreement with BSTG Fire District to build a joint station for their equipment as well as Medic 11. We broke ground on this station in March of last year and have been watching it come together intently.
And today is the day. As of this morning our crew of Lt. Wortz, and Paramedics St. John and Walton are in for good. We’re incredibly excited about what this building stands for, we’re excited for improved service to the area, and we’re happy to continue serving and growing for the future.

New for 2026 are clinical excellence awards. These are given to crews who provided extraordinary care in difficult or unique circumstances and had a significant impact on the outcome for the patient.
This years DCEMS awarded four clinical excellence awards to:
DCEMS Lt Jeff Moore, Paramedics Julie Shaner and Scott Thomas, and Elm Valley Joint Fire District Firefighters Sarah St. John and Jack Vogel
