Calhoun County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) hosted an Open House on May 22 at the Rockwell City Station. 

The event was an opportunity for community members to interact with the “heroes behind the sirens,” honor EMS employees, and learn more about EMS careers.

“People got a chance to come meet staff, see equipment, have some food, and ask questions. It was a success and something to grow on for next year,” said Director of Calhoun County System EMS Bruce Musgrave.
