WHO WE ARE



The Nappanee EMS began with a Basic Life Support Service (BLS) in 1976 with 17 members. In 2004, with the growing demands on EMS Providers, the City and EMS made the decision to go to a Paramedic Service.

We currently have 8 full-time Paramedics and 18 Volunteers. Of the 26 total members, 17 are FIREFIGHTERS, with 5 serving on both the EMS and the Nappanee Fire Department. In our time as an EMS provider we have had three Chiefs: Ray Schwartz, Mike Stull, and our current Chief, Jim Sumpter.

Nappanee EMS's motorized equipment consists of two ambulances and one squad vehicle: "107" is a 2008 Medtec Ambulance on a Chevy Kodiak chassis; "108" is a 2004 Medtec Ambulance on a Chevy Kodiak chassis; and "Squad Nine" is a Chevy Suburban used as a non-transport squad vehicle, which is named in honor of SGT Brant “Butch” Nine.
