Canandaigua Emergency Squad is a volunteer ambulance and rescue service serving a 325 Sq. Mi. region in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. We have been serving our community since 1940. We are the busiest volunteer 911 service in Ontario County answering over 4000 calls annually. We have over 100 volunteers, and although not part of local health system we contract with them for staff to assist at those times volunteers are not available. We serve a population base of approximately 20,000, of which 17,000 live in the 12 Sq. Mi. City of Canandaigua. The remaining 3000 live in the rural area of our district. In addition to the six ambulances and two supervisor vehicles we run, we also provide specialized service for large gatherings with our Bicycle Unit, and specialized transport for obese patients with our Bariatric Unit. Our community service also includes training in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated Defibrillation (AED) use. If you have recently received service from us, please visit our CONTACT page for information on our Patient Feedback Line. Updated 10/2007
