Frio Canyon EMS is looking for volunteer medics!

As many of you know, we are currently running most calls on a variance. This means we are operating below the minimum staffing level required by The Texas Department of State Health Services. We are fortunate to have been granted this variance by DSHS to remain operational to serve our community however, this also comes at the potential cost of overworking our few very dedicated team members.

The health and safety of our patients is our priority, but insuring the health of our team is the biggest hurdle we face. Our need for licensed volunteers is a dire one.

With the completion of our new facility, we now have the freedom to accept volunteers from outside our service area and house them. This opens many new doors for us to continue to serve our wonderful community.

So we are asking for your help to spread the word! If you or anyone you know has an EMS license ECA or above, please reach out to see what you can do to help!

At our public meeting last night, we were presented with very generous donation from Songs on the Frio to the tune of $100,000!

We would like to thank everyone that had a hand in organizing this fundraiser as well as everyone that was able to make a personal donation to the cause. We are very fortunate to have such an outstanding community behind us. You are the reason we get to do what we do!

The 2026 is officially in full swing but how about we take a look back at 1990.

In our offices we have 2 giant photo albums filled lots of laughs and memories with great friends. Periodically, we will be sharing some of them with you! Years of memories can sometimes get a bit lost so we would love to hear from you in the comments if you know anyone in these photos or if you ARE in these photos.

With the NYE parties right around the corner, do you know how to identify alcohol poisoning? Being inebriated is one thing but how do you tell if you or your friends have had a few to many?

Watch for these signs as you ring in the new year!🍾🥂

Did you know that EMS is a 24/7/365 service?

Get a bit to excited getting the ham out of the oven and burned your arm? Break your leg falling off the roof helping Santa? Did that cheeky elf forget to warn you about the Lego they left all over the floor and now you've fallen and your head feels like a snow globe that just got shaken up?

You call and we'll be there faster than you can say "Oh Deer, Christmas is Here!"

As you gather around the tree, remember who to call if someone is falling apart faster than our overbaked gingerbread house!
