"Training courses were developed and implemented and VVES received NYS certification on April 1, 1976; we were officially open for service. In January 1976, an Emergency Medical Technician course was offered for VVES members, and by October 1977 we had 90 EMT’s, 30 IV Technicians, 8 Cardiac Care Technicians, and 100 total members certified in CPR."
"VVES proudly protects an area of 53 square miles. We operate out of one station that serves a primarily rural area. We are a public department whose members are on a combination of paid and volunteer status. We are no longer financially supported by the Town of Vestal, but generate income by billing patient’s insurance companies for services."
