Watch as HFC sits down with retired Assistant Chief Jim Armstrong to discuss the evolution of Whitesville VFD and EMS. Jim started in 1954 and walks us through decades of history, stories, and how the fire and EMS service changed over the years.
He shares his time working in the funeral home ambulance service and explains how federal regulations eventually forced funeral homes across Boone County to shut down their ambulance operations. But when those services disappeared, the coal mines had other plans… and what happened next helped shape EMS in the area.
Jim also talks about how Whitesville Ambulance was one of the first services in the state to use a medical helicopter for transport known as Angel One.
