Announcements / 2017/18 Fairfax Rescue Subscription Plans Now Available.

« on: May 03, 2017, 06:10:11 PM »

Fairfax Rescue is committed to providing quality, affordable emergency ambulance care as a service to all residents of the communities that we serve. The subscription plan was implemented to help off-set the rising out-of- pocket expense with EMS transport. With the typical cost associated with EMS transports averaging $800 - $1000 per response, the program limits any out-of-pocket EMS expenses to $60/year. This is a slight increase over previous years. For subscribers the single fee covers those living in the subscribed household.  For those who subscribe, should you or any member of your household require our services you will be covered for the balance of your bill not paid by your insurance company.  This could mean very significant savings for you as a subscriber.

Enrollment and renewal periods for the EMS Subscription Program run from July 1st – June 30th annually for the subsequent year regardless of when enrolled and is not valid for back dating. This subscription program is an optional plan that is available to all residents who live within our service area.

1. No out-of-pocket expenses for emergency ambulance transported by Fairfax Rescue
2. No transport limits per enrolled member
3. Coverage for all eligible household members

Terms of Agreement

A nice slide show; an attractive looking building.  But I think somewhere along the way I missed something.  I am not sure how this is being funded!

Current News & Events / Re: Fairfax Rescue Putting Up 911 Signs

« on: August 18, 2012, 01:19:16 PM »

The E911 numbering system was federally mandated, but I do not think posting them was a requirement.  If it is/was, it is definitely not enforced.   I have heard and read about local municipalities that have enacted local ordinances requiring that the E911 signs be posted at all residences and businesses. 

It would be great if everyone had them.

How high are the signs and how high does the snow get? Just asking

If I recall the signs that are placed on the green posts are at about 36"- 48" (3ft - 4ft).  Snow depths, well that's a tough one. You never know what we are going to get from year to year.

You also have the option of placing them on top of your mailbox if it is on the same side of the road as your driveway/home.  Give the station a call  @ 849-2773 and speak to Mike.  He's our lead guy on this.

I joined Fairfax Rescue just over a year ago and these signs are a HUGE help when trying to locate our destination on emergency calls.  As someone mentioned already every second can count in an emergency.  The easier we can find you, the quicker you'll get the help you need.

Also, we've heard very positive feedback from delivery services as well.  UPS, FedEx, etc.. It makes it easier for them to deliver packages.
