“Traveling Interstate 90 is a beautiful evergreen experience. However, on this most dangerous stretch of the state’s major east-west corridor… the medical response capacity is limited.”

Life Support

We Must Be Prepared

The four distinct seasons, enjoyed by the residents here, attract over 1 million visitors annually. In addition to those who come to “play,” 10 million people travel this stretch of I-90 en route to other destinations each year.

What happens when…
… a major accident occurs
… accidents happen simultaneously
… you need the nearest trauma center
… I-90, I-82, or Blewett Pass closes
… an airlift cannot fly due to weather
… you need medical care

A Vast Response Area: 
Federal and state agencies publicly hold 80% of the Upper County. While providing the rich views and recreational opportunities that make the area so desirable, that land contributes no tax base to Fire and EMS.
