Ida County EMS is now accepting applications for multiple positions, with a start date on or around November 1, 2024.
Ida County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) began providing service July 1, 2021. This service is operated in conjunction with the Sheriff’s Office and came out of a substantial need for additional EMS response. ICEMS is an AEMT/Provisional Paramedic non transport EMS agency designed to assist local transport and non-transport agencies with coverage. ICEMS will accompany patients to the hospital when necessary to provide ALS level care and/or to augment volunteer EMS agencies.
ICEMS is dispatched alongside city-based EMS agencies during daytime working hours (generally 8am-5pm Monday-Friday), when volunteer EMS providers are stretched the thinnest. ICEMS may also be activated after hours during times of EMS system stress, special events, or critical incident callouts. In November 2023 voters approved a 15 year EMS property tax to support 24/7 operations to begin around November, 2024.
ICEMS assists with countywide training opportunities for public safety entities by organizing and/or providing ongoing training on communications, CPR, bloodborne pathogens, among other requests. ICEMS staff also assist city EMS directors with protocol development, quality assurance and compliance.
