The Samson Volunteer Rescue Squad is a vital part of our community, as well as outlying areas in the county. Together, the volunteer fire department and rescue squad answer over 800 service calls yearly. They serve 193 square miles with 3,706 address points. The citizens of the City of Samson, as well as the citizens in the surrounding coverage area, depend on them to answer the call for service.

The Samson Volunteer Rescue Squad operates independently without any financial support from the Geneva County Commission, despite having the widest coverage area in the county.

Samson’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provides immediate medical care to those in need, including trauma care, life support, and ambulance transportation to medical facilities.

In addition, they are present during search and rescue operations, conducting search and rescue missions for missing persons or in situations such as natural disasters, where individuals may be trapped or lost.

Samson Rescue assists during natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes by performing evacuations, providing medical aid, and helping with recovery efforts.

Educating the public on safety practices, first aid, CPR, and disaster preparedness to help prevent emergencies and encourage self-sufficiency is also another benefit of the local rescue team.

They also support to Samson Volunteer Fire Department by assisting with medical care during fire-related incidents and providing manpower for extrication and rescue.

Collaborating with neighboring rescue squads and other emergency services, they provide additional mutual aid support during large-scale incidents.

Samson Volunteer Rescue is an integral to community safety and is supported by donations, community funding, and the dedication of their personnel.
