The mission of the Blount County Rescue Squad is to provide public education,

prevention and excellence in pre-hospital emergency care and specialty rescue/support

services to the citizens and visitors of Blount County and surrounding counties, when

called upon by local and state emergency response partners.

We will deliver these services through dedicated, professional, highly trained, skilled

and certified emergency care providers with the knowledge and tools, integrity,

accountability, and professionalism to any persons or agencies in need of such care.  

We will foster community relationships by collaborating and teaching other emergency

response organizations and the general public to increase the effectiveness of the EMS

system in Blount County through community outreach events and programs.
