Frequently Asked Questions

What are donations used for?

Donations are used for restocking medical supplies for the ambulance, ambulance repairs, and continuing the training of our volunteers.

How can I donate?

You can mail a check or donate online at https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/226104457.  Note that MTFAS is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and donations are 100% tax deductible.

What is the "File of Life"?

The "File of Life" is a form that contains your medical information so that first responders can know your allergies, medical history, medications, and other important information in case you are in a situation where you cannot provide the information verbally.   The File for Life organization provides the forms to organizations such as first aid squads to distribute to individuals in their community. Please email info@mtfas.org if you would like a "File of Life".

If I don't want to be an EMT are there any other ways I can help?

Yes! You can also become certified as an ambulance driver.  You can also help out with grant-writing, bookkeeping, or fundraising. For more information, email info@mtfas.org. 

Do you bill for emergency services?

No.  You will never be charged by MTFAS for our services.   However, if the emergency requires Advanced Life Support (ALS) from hospital-based paramedics, you will be charged by the paramedics.  The 911 dispatcher will quickly determine whether  paramedics are necessary based on the nature of the injury or illness.
