Who are we: We are Brice Prairie EMS and Rescue. We are your neighbors and co-workers of Brice Prairie. For over 40 years we continue to be a volunteer community base Medical First Responder organization.
What do we do: We respond to 9-1-1 calls on Brice Prairie and the Great River State Bike/Snowmobile Trail to provide first-on-scene emergency medical care, water/ice rescue for Lake Onalaska and the Black River Bottoms, and provide mutual assistance for nearby area emergencies.
What we need: Brice Prairie EMS and Rescue holds their annual “Rockin’ the Prairie” fundraiser featuring great live & local music the 4th Saturday of August. BPER holds this event in an effort to raise funds to help cover the costs associated with running the organization. These costs range from continued training for our volunteers to the purchase of needed equipment and supplies, putting all volunteers through an advanced skills class, purchase of an airway dummy, and improve our water and ice rescue equipment. This year we’re hoping to improve our rescue response with our donated Argo.
