In the 17th Century, English poet John Donne wrote a famous phrase stating that, “No man is an island.” While we live in the San Juan Islands, it is always important to know that no one is an island and we are not alone.

Emergency medical services (EMS) is a component of the emergency service system. As a system, none of these component services stand alone. They must be fully linked to operate effectively and efficiently. SJIF&R is the largest EMS agency in the district, and one of six in the county.

129,158 is how many minutes SJIF&R responders have been on active calls in the past year. 43 of your island neighbors contributed to that total, answering your requests for assistance 1,016 times.
