About Us

Walker County EMS is a true third-service agency, completely separate from police and fire. We are funded entirely by the county. WCEMS is strictly a 911 EMS service, we do not perform interfacility transfers or discharges. 

Established on October 6, 1975, Walker County EMS is dedicated to providing exceptional emergency medical care. Operating five 911 Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU) ambulances, our highly trained team ensures prompt and professional services to residents and travelers throughout Walker County.

In 2024 WCEMS responded to over 9,300 calls for service. Our units are dispatched to water and wilderness rescues along with medical and trauma calls.
