"For over fifty years, the Marathon Fire Department Emergency Squad operated as an all-volunteer EMS agency. In spite of a rich history of service since its formation in 1948, the emergency squad faced critical manpower shortages in the late 1990s due to a lack of volunteer EMTs available during the daytime hours. MAVAC was created when the ambulance service separated from the fire department to form a not-for-profit organization that could hire career paramedics and bill for patient services. "
