Cheshire County EMS

After more than a year of planning, coordination, and perseverance, Cheshire County EMS has officially taken delivery of two new ambulances.

These units represent a significant investment in the safety, reliability, and long-term sustainability of our system. Fleet replacement at this level does not happen overnight — it requires detailed specifications, budgeting, oversight, and continuous follow-through to bring a project from concept to delivery.

I would like to specifically recognize Captain Cummings and Deputy Chief Atkins for their hard work and steady leadership throughout this entire process. From design and vendor coordination to tracking timelines and ensuring the units meet our operational needs, their dedication was instrumental in getting these ambulances across the finish line.

I also want to thank the Cheshire County Commissioners and leadership for their continued support of public safety infrastructure and their commitment to ensuring our crews have dependable equipment to serve the people of Cheshire County.

The units will now be lettered and finalized before entering frontline service. Once placed in service, they will enhance system reliability, reduce maintenance downtime, and ensure we remain ready — Any Tone, Any Place, Any Time.

Thank you to everyone who played a role in this project, and to the crews who will soon put these ambulances to work serving our communities every day.

Last night we had the opportunity to train alongside Gilsum Fire & Rescue during a combined mechanical CPR (LUCAS) training. Joint trainings like this are invaluable and strengthen both our clinical skills and our working relationships in the field.

A sincere thank you to the members of Gilsum Fire & Rescue for their engagement and collaboration, and to Danielle Bishop for leading an informative and hands-on training. We look forward to continuing to build on these partnerships in support of patient care throughout Cheshire County.

💙 Another Charitable Milestone Reached! 💙

Thanks to nothing more than donated cans and bottles, our crews have officially raised over $500 in support of the United Way! ♻️👏

This is a great example of how small actions—consistently done—can add up to something meaningful. We are incredibly proud of our teams for taking the extra time to collect, sort, and return deposits, all while continuing to serve our communities every day.

If you see one of our crews out and about, please take a moment to say thank you for their hard work and their commitment to giving back. Community support like this is what makes efforts like these possible—and worthwhile.

Any tone. Any place. Any time.

Community Update

Cheshire County EMS is aware of recent public discussions regarding EMS services in the Town of Rindge. As part of those conversations, CCEMS has been asked—like we have been in other situations across the county—to participate in discussions about what support or coverage capabilities we may have, both short-term and long-term.

These conversations are preliminary in nature and focused on understanding needs, logistics, and possibilities. No decisions or commitments have been made.

At CCEMS, we value and respect our local EMS partners and the vital role they play in their communities. Our mission remains unchanged: to ensure the residents of Cheshire County have access to qualified, consistent, and reliable emergency medical services when they need them most.

We will continue to engage in open, professional dialogue when asked and remain committed to doing what is best for the people we serve.

Thank you for your continued support of emergency medical services throughout Cheshire County.

Thank you to the Westmoreland School for having CCEMS to hold a CPR class for faculty and staff! We had a lot of fun and the town of Westmoreland is safer today than yesterday!

The members of Cheshire County EMS stand in solidarity with the brothers and sisters of the Cheshire County Sheriff's Office. May he rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and his family.

Today we lost one of the good ones. A dedicated deputy and police officer with over 30 years of service to Cheshire County. After battling a terminal illness, Deputy Mark Chamberlain passed away at home along his family. Now at peace, you will forever be remembered. Rest now, brother we have the watch.
