Hastings County is the second largest county in Ontario, stretching almost 160 kilometers from the Bay of Quinte to Algonquin Park. It is comprised of 14 member municipalities.

The Emergency Services Department has two components: Paramedic Services and Emergency Management.

Paramedic Services is staffed by a progressive team of highly qualified professionals committed to the highest medical standards in responding to emergencies. The department provides direct ambulance service from six base locations throughout the county. Our service commitment is to respond within 2 minutes of being notified.

Emergency Management is responsible for public education and awareness, emergency preparedness, and response.
