North Country Emergency Medical Service (NCEMS), founded in 1976, is a public EMS agency operating from the Town of Yacolt Fire Department. Yacolt is located in Northeast Clark County with a drive time of approximately one hour to downtown Portland, Oregon. NCEMS serves approximately 1000 square miles in parts of Clark, Cowlitz, and Skamania Counties.
North Country EMS covers most of the Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument and surrounding wilderness areas.
We serve a predominately rural area with a population of approximately 25, 000 including several small communities. Response time to an incident can vary from minutes to over an hour. Transport to a hospital can run from 45 minutes to 2 hours. We responded to 1127 calls in 2006.
NCEMS operates ambulances from stations in Yacolt and Fargher Lake. Ambulances are staffed with a paramedic and an EMT.
In the summer we staff an ambulance and a rescue unit at the Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument to handle the tourist and wilderness related EMS needs of those visiting or recreating in the area.
