The Authority’s fleet consists of five ambulances, two response vehicles, one wheelchair van, and a rescue truck.

As of 2023, Ross/West View EMSA has implemented an annual EMS fee in each of the municipalities it serves. This fee is to provide a source of sustainable funding for the EMS. The fee is $55 per household. Once you have paid this fee, you will not have to pay any out-of-pocket ambulance fees that are not covered by insurance.
