Southern Trinity Area Rescue: Events and Recent Updates

STAR (Southern Trinity Area Rescue) plays a vital role in the healthcare of this rural part of northern California. Staffed by volunteers, STAR ambulance and emergency personnel cover the southern third of Trinity County and far eastern portion of Humboldt County encompassing over 1250 sq. miles. We're always busy and we're always looking for volunteers.

Measure Z has gone a long ways towards improving this important service and improving the coverage of emergency services that our community relies upon. How important is it? A recent study has demonstrated that the survivability of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest events decreases as ambulance time increases. By improving our ambulance times, we're helping to save lives.
