I’ve been in EMS for for 8 years and at Chase City for going on a year. I enjoy spending time with my family and close friends. My husband and I have 3 wonderful daughters 7, 14 and 18 so there is never a dull moment in our house. I enjoy working at Chase City Rescue bc of all the wonderful members of the community I have had the pleasure of meeting or serving and all the great friendships I have formed with coworkers and other public servants in the area. An interesting fact about me is I am obsessed with the color red to the extent that we named our youngest daughter Scarlett! 🤣

Carl Potts is a part time employee with us. Carl has been in EMS for 13 years, almost 2 years Chase city part time. Carl enjoys family time. Hobbies include wood working creating things from wood. Yard work and gardening. Interesting fact - always dreamed of being in EMS as a kid, was my dream job, but got involved in Construction and being half owner of a multi million dollar business, which I walk away from to follow my dream in EMS.

Thank you Carl!

This is Kasey Morris. She’s a full time provider with us. She’s been in EMS for 10 years & a year in chase city in June. An interesting fact about Kasey. “I played softball until I was in a car wreck in 2016. And I love to fish (we fish for catfish), I have pink rods and reels. I have my granddaddy, parents, brother and a few friends who are basically unbiological. I was also blessed with two other families who have taken me in like their own.” Kasey was asked why she loves working at chase city and her response was “I love it here because I feel at home. I instantly clicked with everyone here and I knew I had made the right choice. (Plus our boss is pretty great)”

Thank you Kasey for your hard work!

We at Chase City Rescue are so thankful for our 911 dispatchers. Those that are rarely seen, but mostly heard; the calm voice in dark night. They are the golden glue that holds it all together. ❤️

Due to visitor restrictions at local hospitals, family and friends of patients will no longer be able to ride along. The only exemption to this is if the patient is a minor under the age of 18. In this case, one parent or legal guardian is permitted to ride along. Thank you for your understanding of this matter.
