Squad Pres./ Chief - Jeff Crick Certified - 1977 (31 years and counting) Jeff currently is transportation director for WC schools. He has devoted more hours to the Moville Ambulance / Rescue Squad than could ever be accounted for. His leadership and direction has been the foundation and motivation for the entire squad.
VP - Mike Byers Certified - 1975 (33 years and counting)
Mike left his business for 30 + years to help the people in the area in need of medical assistance and never asked for anything in return. His dedication and concern for the community is an example to all. It is extremely sad to say we are lost this business in our community. It has a definite effect on the quality of life in Moville when we lose these businesses. These 2 men "ARE " Moville Ambulance Rescue Squad
Medical Director for Moville Ambulance Squad Dr. Jeffrey O Tool St Luke's Regional Medical Center Ambulance Service News Newly registered EMT's
joined the Moville Ambulance Squad this summer after completing their training .
BUSINESS PARTNERS for MOVILLE AMBULANCE March includes EMS Appreciation Week . This is designed to be a week of appreciation for the volunteer efforts of many community minded people. Moville has always had a very efficient and proud Fire Dept. and EMS service. These persons give a lot of their time to dedicate themselves to the welfare of the community. Please check the list of providers for both EMS and Fire, so you know who will respond in your time of need. Week day coverage many time involves EMPLOYERS who allow their employees to leave work to respond to a medical or accident emergency. Without their support, EMS service may have to respond from Sioux City, a paid service. We all realize what a hardship this would place on our community. A recognition from the State Bureau of EMS is being sent to these local businesses for their community spirit and commitment. They ask nothing in return. When you see any of these business owners or managers, please thank them as well as support their business efforts. Local businesses include: Haberl Stone and Tile - Cheri Goeden, EMT Metcalf, Thompson, & Phipps, Att. @ Law, Michelle Johnson, EMT Liteform Home

A Tribute to One of our own!
Reggie -
an EMT-I began his classes in 1998-99 at Moville. He became certified in May,
1999,here in Moville, and began riding with the squad. All he wanted was to
drive, but, if you know Reggie, you knew he wanted to be in the back with the
patient. Even in the most difficult circumstances, he would lighten things up
and you would find yourself smiling (and maybe even feeling a little guilty
because you were). His patients would be smiling right along with him also. His
personality was sometimes the best treatment he would give.
Our squad will have stories about things he did and they will always be a part of our
lives, as he was. He was truly one of us! Reggie,
we will miss you!!
