Summary
EMS Chief Dusty McCleese reported 79 runs for the week and noted equipment downtime and fundraising activity; the board approved a personnel status change moving Aaron Craig to Volunteer Basic EMT while he attends medic school.
Adams County Emergency Medical Services reported 79 runs the week ending March 13, 2026, and the board approved a personnel status change for a crew member during the March 16 meeting.
EMS Chief Dusty McCleese told the commissioners the run breakdown included 28 in Peebles, 16 in West Union, 18 in North Adams, seven in Green Township, eight in Manchester and two out-of-county runs; 22 of the week’s runs occurred on Sunday, and out-of-county assistance was required when local agencies were concurrently on calls. McCleese noted the county is entering fire season and anticipated increased assistance to firefighters.
McCleese also reported maintenance, including an ambulance that was out of service for four hours due to a split brake caliper, and that a fundraising event at Abby’s Place in Peebles raised $3,800 to buy yard-advertising signs for an upcoming levy; EMS Captain Wade Hook is listed as a contact for sign pickup.
The board approved Resolution No. 2026-101 to change Aaron Craig from Part-Time Basic EMT to Volunteer Basic EMT effective March 16, 2026, citing his medic‑school commitment and noting his status will change again upon completion.
