Tremont Rescue 702 was established in 1977.  Davis Mortuary was responsible for ambulance service prior to that date.  When more schooling and new laws made it impossible for Davis Mortuary to continue the service, a group of about 30 students took the EMT class to continue providing this necessary service for the Tremont community.  

A new ambulance was purchased in 1977 and Rescue 702 started providing service for Tremont.  The squad was originally dispatched through a 7 digit number that dispatchers in town answered. These dispatchers then set off the pagers. This first group is listed as best we know.  If you are aware of anyone else who was a member of the original ambulance squad, please contact us.
