Rural Fire & EMS Fees
Sand Springs Rural Fire Subscription
Households located outside the Sand Springs’ city limits but within the 64-square-mile area served by Sand Springs firefighters, are automatically enrolled in the optional Rural Fire Subscription program. For the $5.00 monthly charge, rural residents will not pay any out-of-pocket costs should Sand Springs firefighters be called to a fire at your home or on your land. The charge for a rural house fire call averages $2,000. Homeowners insurance policies only pay about a quarter of that amount. The Rural Fire Subscription assures that homeowners will not be faced with the remaining costs.
Sand Springs EMS Program
Sand Springs has established a program to sustain Emergency Medical Service in our community. Each household served by EMSA ambulance and the Sand Springs Fire Department will pay a monthly EMS fee of $2.25 inside city limits, or $5.00 outside city limits, to assure the community has excellent ambulance and first responder services available when they are needed.
EMSA Total Care
Households in the Sand Springs area that receive EMSA ambulance service will be enrolled in the optional EMSA Total Care. The program provides you, and all permanent members of your household with EMSA Total Care benefits which means no out-of-pocket costs for EMSA emergency ambulance services. The cost for this peace of mind is $1 per month. With the charge for ambulance service increasing to $1,500 per call, it is easy to see that the EMSA Total Care program is a good deal should you or a member of your family ever need an ambulance anywhere in EMSA’s coverage area. Coverage is also available for qualifying nonemergency ambulance transfers by EMSA.
