EMS Week

May 21st-27th, 2023 is the 49th annual celebration of EMS Week and this year’s theme is:

"Where Emergency Care Begins"  

This theme is particularly meaningful now, to remind people that every day they are there to respond, support, and care for the needs of our communities.

This week we honor the certified EMT's  in the Village of Rhinebeck Fire Dept., for their service and dedication to our community. These front-line responders average 1000 calls a year in the Village and protective district in the Town of Rhinebeck.
