Forks Ambulance’s Aid and Rescue vehicles were both dispatched Thursday evening following a report of a vehicle rollover on Highway 101 at MP115, just north of Forks. One of Forks Ambulance’s EMTs was in the area and responded in their personal vehicle to the scene.

Initially on scene with Forks Ambulance’s Aid and Rescue crews was a Fish & Wildlife officer and an Olympic National Park Ranger. Beaver Fire Department also responded to the scene, as seen above with Fire Chief Bill Paul, for standby assistance. There ended up being only one person involved in the collision which whom denied ambulance transport following medic evaluation.


July 2016,
We are now in possession of a Lucas, automated compression device, for cardiac arrest patients needing CPR. The device was purchased by a generous donation received from Jefferson County. We believe the Lucas will be very valuable to our healthcare providers responding to distant 911 calls.
