Rescue Care

No one should hesitate to call an ambulance during an emergency. When seconds count, the care you receive may save your life. If you are worried about the potential cost of ambulance service, give yourself and your family peace of mind with the Whitefish Fire Department’s Rescue Care program.                                                 

If you do need to call an ambulance, Rescue Care bills your insurance and covers the balance. There are no complicated claim forms to complete.  The Rescue Care program runs annually from July through June. You can become a member of Rescue Care anytime during the year and the fee is the same regardless of when you enroll. All memberships will start July 1 and expire the following June 30.     

Rescue Care household membership is only $59 per year for Whitefish residents (within City limits) or $185 per year for Flathead County residents living outside of Whitefish city limits but residing within the Whitefish Ambulance service area.
